Method
- Heat your oven to 200°C / 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup effortless.
- Rinse the brussels sprouts under cold water. Trim off the tough stem end of each sprout, then slice them in half lengthwise. Remove and discard any loose or discolored outer leaves.
- Place the halved brussels sprouts in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with the extra-virgin olive oil and toss thoroughly until each sprout is evenly coated.
- Sprinkle the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, finely grated Parmesan cheese, and panko breadcrumbs over the oiled sprouts. Toss everything together until the brussels sprouts are completely covered with the cheesy breadcrumb mixture.
- Spread the coated brussels sprouts on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, placing them cut-side down. This positioning is crucial for achieving that signature caramelized, crispy bottom.
- Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven. After 20 minutes, carefully flip each sprout using tongs or a spatula. Continue roasting for an additional 10 minutes, or until the leaves are deeply golden brown and the coating is crispy and crunchy.
- Remove from the oven and transfer the crispy parmesan brussels sprouts to a warm serving bowl. Scrape any crispy cheese and breadcrumb bits from the baking sheet and sprinkle them over the top for extra texture and flavor. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes
Store leftover parmesan brussels sprouts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 375°F oven for 8-10 minutes to restore crispiness-avoid microwaving, as it makes the coating soggy and eliminates the signature crunch.
