Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved
• 1 Tablespoon, plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 Tablespoons freshly grated parmesan

Preparation:

1. Place a rack in the upper third of your oven and preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. Place the Brussels sprouts in the center of a large rimmed baking sheet.
3. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and any other desired spice additions.
4. Gently mix until the Brussels sprouts are evenly coated, then spread them into a single layer on the baking sheet.
5. For even better crisping, flip the Brussels sprouts so that they are all cut sides down.
6. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and stir in the parmesan cheese.
7. Bake for 15 minutes or until the Brussels sprouts are lightly charred, crisp on the outside, and tender in the center. Enjoy immediately.
