how to make roasted brussels sprouts taste good

How to make brussel sprout chips
Step 1: Prepare your brussels sprouts.
After you have cut the ends off your sprouts and removed any outer leaves, it’s time to slice them up.
You want them fairly small (this helps them get more crispy), so aim for 3 – 4 slices per brussel.
They should look like this.
These are called brussel sprout chips after all, so we are going for the thin cut for this recipe.
Those thin little slices will be key to getting the crispy edges without a lot of mushy brussel sprouts.
Step 2: sprinkle on your salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and parmesan.
Step 3: Drizzle olive oil over the top and toss it all up to coat.
Step 4: Roast your brussels sprouts chips at 425 degrees for optimal crispiness.
The parmesan adds tons of flavor, as well as a crispy cheese crust to the brussel sprout chips.
We use this same method to make parmesan roasted cauliflower with that same delicious crispy parmesan cheese crust.
I baked mine for 10 minutes, flipped them over, and baked an additional 10 minutes.
Depending on your oven you may cook them shorter or longer to your desired level of crispiness.
You want them pretty crisp without being burnt.
My kids even love this recipe and everyone wants seconds. I often have to double the amount that I make.
Honestly, I could have eaten the entire pan by myself, and if I didn’t have to share I definitely would have done it!
I am planning to make these a regular lunch rotation or dinner side.
If you have never loved brussel sprouts before, this recipe will definitely change your mind!

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. I recommend reheating in the oven for the best texture!

I'm not much of a Brussels person, and these are the first time I've had them that I've wanted more. I seriously had them 6 meals in a row, and I'm not tired of them! Great method! A note for anyone dairy free - I used nutritional yeast instead of parm and halved the amount, and they were perfect :)

Looks amazing... I’d like to cook mine in my air fryer. What would be the temperature and time in an air fryer for this recipe?

@Lauren, what a great idea! I would put Vegan cheese on mine since I'm vegan... I've got to try this out!! For my fries, the temp. I use is 325 for maybe about 20 min. or try different temps...

If I make these without the Parmesan, will they turn out? Or is the parm necessary to help give it that crunch?

Parmesan definitely helps the texture of these, and the crispy edges.
