- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- Salt and black pepper to taste

- Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash, trim, and halve the Brussels sprouts.
- In a large bowl, toss the sprouts with melted butter, garlic, basil, salt, and pepper.

Notes
Parmesan Roasted Brussels Sprouts taste best served hot straight from the oven when the cheese is crispy and golden. They make a perfect side dish for roasted chicken, turkey, steak, or fish, and can also be enjoyed as a savory appetizer or snack. For entertaining, serve them on a platter with a drizzle of balsamic glaze or a squeeze of fresh lemon. Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in the oven or an air fryer for a few minutes until warmed through and crispy again. Avoid microwaving, as it will make them soft instead of crunchy.
