Enjoy this simple and delicious recipe for Cacio e Pepe Brussels sprouts! This easy side dish combines crispy brussels sprouts with savory parmesan and black pepper, making it perfect for holiday gatherings or any occasion. Treat your taste buds to a flavorful twist on a classic Italian dish!
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!
