Notes

  • Storage tips: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven to keep the Parmesan crisp. Freezing isn’t recommended, as the texture of the sprouts and cheese might change.
  • Can I make this dish ahead? Yes! You can prep the Brussels sprouts and toss them in the dressing a day ahead, then roast them right before serving.
  • Can I use frozen Brussels sprouts? Fresh is best for crispiness, but if using frozen, make sure to thaw and dry them thoroughly.
  • What if I don’t like Brussels sprouts? Try this method with cauliflower or even broccoli! The crispy cheese works wonders on most veggies.
