These brussels sprouts are made extra special because they're smashed and roasted with parmesan, olive oil, salt, and garlic powder. Each bite is a delicious flavor bomb!
Trim the bottom of each brussels sprout and peel away the first layer of leaves. That’s where you usually see the dirt and any brown sprouts.
Add brussels sprouts to a pot of boiling water and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until sprouts are tender.
Drain well and pat with a paper towel to remove any excess water from the leaves.
Place dried sprouts in a single layer on a parchment paper covered baking sheet. Leave a little room in between each. Use a potato masher or fork to gently smash each brussels sprout.
Drizzle olive oil on brussels sprouts.
Sprinkle parmesan, salt, and garlic powder on the top of each.
Place in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until brussels sprouts are as crispy as you like.
