Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting.
- In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until they are evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet to ensure even cooking.
- Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are tender-crisp and slightly caramelized.
- While the Brussels sprouts roast, gently warm the heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat, being careful not to boil it.
- Remove the roasted Brussels sprouts from the oven and transfer them back to the large bowl.
- Pour the warm heavy cream over the Brussels sprouts and toss to coat them thoroughly.
- Add the grated Parmesan cheese and toss again until it has melted and formed a creamy sauce.
- Taste the dish and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately for best results.
Notes
For extra crispiness, ensure Brussels sprouts are dry before tossing with oil and seasonings. Do not overcrowd the baking sheet; roast in batches if necessary.
