Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs. whole brussels sprouts
- 2 tbsp. avocado oil
- 1 tsp. kosher salt
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- Freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F. Peel off any loose leaves from the brussels sprouts and rinse them well. Slice each sprout in half through the end.
- Place all the brussels sprouts in a large bowl, drizzle them with two tablespoons of avocado oil, and toss to coat. Season with salt and toss again. Spread the sprouts out in a single layer on a parchment- or foil-lined baking sheet, with all the sprouts cut-side down. Roast for about 20 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a knife.
- After 20 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Flip all the sprouts so that they’re cut-side up. Sprinkle them with grated parmesan cheese and season generously with freshly cracked black pepper. Place them back in the oven for another 2-3 minutes to melt the cheese.
- Serve these crispy cacio e pepe Brussels sprouts warm!
