Ingredients

Scale

Brussels Sprouts

  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese, finely shredded
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 teaspoons garlic salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
  • 2 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

Sauce

  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chive
  • 1 clove garlic, finely grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting the Brussels sprouts at a high heat that will crisp the cheese and tenderize the vegetables.
  2. Prepare Parmesan Mixture and Arrange Brussels Sprouts: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded Parmesan cheese, melted unsalted butter, garlic salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Spread this cheese mixture evenly on a nonstick rimmed baking sheet. Place the halved Brussels sprouts cut-side down on top of the Parmesan mixture, spaced about 1 inch apart to ensure even roasting.
  3. Bake the Brussels Sprouts: Roast in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, until the Brussels sprouts are tender and the Parmesan cheese forms a light golden-brown crust. After baking, allow the sprouts to sit at room temperature for at least 5 minutes before gently separating them to keep the cheese crust intact.
  4. Make the Dijon Chive Cream Sauce: While the Brussels sprouts roast, combine sour cream, grated Parmesan, Dijon mustard, chopped fresh chives, finely grated garlic, and freshly ground black pepper in a small bowl. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well blended.
  5. Serve: Plate the roasted Parmesan Brussels sprouts alongside the Dijon chive cream sauce and enjoy this flavorful, cheesy side dish.

Notes

  • For best results, use freshly shredded Parmesan cheese rather than pre-grated to ensure better melting and crisping.
  • Make sure Brussels sprouts are dry before roasting for maximum crunchiness.
  • The Dijon chive cream sauce can be prepared ahead and refrigerated for up to 2 days.
  • Adjust garlic salt and black pepper to taste if you prefer a stronger or milder flavor.
  • This dish pairs well with roasted meats, grilled chicken, or as part of a holiday meal.
