Crispy Parmesan Brussels Sprouts
The idea of soggy mushy vegetables makes most people run for the hills. I think many people have childhood memories of their parents trying to force feed them some nasty little green mush ball. Well, these are not that! I think we can all agree that vegetable recipes have come a long way. I'm sure you've gone to a restaurant and ordered crispy brussels sprouts, maybe some chili garlic green beans, roasted shishito peppers, whole roasted cauliflowers... all things we likely hated as kids! And now they are delicious. The only problem? Most of these recipes are fried, covered in fat, contain loads of sugar.. essentially stripping the great vitamins that come with vegetables. Like all healthy but tasty recipes, in order to make them tasty you have to add a little bit of bad but mostly keep the good. ..Enter breadcrumbs and parmesan ! The two stars of the show here. The entire batch only uses 1/4 cup of breadcrumbs which is about 20 carbs. Parmesan is one of the lower dairy cheeses that you can opt for which is why I love to cook with it. These two ingredients get REALLY crunchy in this recipe so don't be alarmed if things look extra toasty... it will be yummy trust me!
Ingredients
- 1 lb brussel sprouts
- 1/3 cup Parmesan
- 1/4 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp Lemon
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- Cut the stem off of the sprouts and slice in half. Peel off the outer layer of the sprouts which is likely coming off already.
- In a large mixing bowl, add all the ingredients together.
- Spread everything out on a baking sheet. Make sure to cover the sprouts as much as you can with the breadcrumb/parmesan mixture. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 min.
- Take sheet out and toss everything around trying to flip the sprouts over. I like to give them a good spray here with some non stick olive oil spray. Cook for another 10 minutes. Serve immediately.
