Make Garlic-Parmesan Brussels Sprouts a delicious healthy side dish using a few seasonings, Parmesan cheese, and frozen Brussels sprouts in under 30 minutes.
I’ll admit, this was the first time I had ever tried a Brussels Sprout! I also didn’t realize that there’s an “s” at the end of the word Brussels until just recently. However, upon looking up information about them, I found that they were first cultivated in Brussels. That explains the name!
I am not a big fan of greens. But, when you add some seasonings and cheese, it makes them tolerable. That’s what I do with roasted asparagus, too. The boys didn’t care for these much, but Justin and I liked them as an easy side dish for some baked pork chops.
You can use either frozen or fresh Brussels sprouts for this recipe. We had some frozen, so that’s what I used. The only difference would be in how long they cook. When you use frozen Brussels sprouts, they take a bit longer to cook.
Serving Suggestions & Tips
- Make sure to use a baking sheet or dish with rimmed sides so the Brussels sprouts can’t roll off of your pan.
- Line the baking pan with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
- For more flavor, use fresh garlic in place of the garlic powder.
- Melted butter can replace the olive oil. If you use salted butter, then omit the extra salt in the recipe.

Garlic-Parmesan Brussels Sprouts Step by Step
Ingredients
- 12 oz Brussels sprouts (frozen)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (shredded)
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 425F. Place the Brussels sprouts in a rimmed baking dish. Cover the Brussels sprouts with olive oil and stir to coat.

Sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Bake the seasoned sprouts in the hot oven for about 15-20 minutes, stirring once after about 5-10 minutes, until they start to turn golden brown and get a crispy edge.

Cover the Brussels sprouts with Parmesan cheese and bake another 5 minutes to melt the cheese.

Garlic Parmesan Brussel Sprouts Leftovers
Storage: Place leftovers in an airtight container and put them in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
Reheating: To reheat, you can either microwave them or place them back in the oven. The air fryer would also be a great way to reheat these so they stay crispy.
