Parmesan Brussel Sprouts Variations & Substitutions
Olive Oil: You can substitute avocado oil, butter, or ghee.
Parmesan Cheese: Sharp cheddar cheese or mozzarella would work instead of parmesan in this recipe but will not get as crispy. If you don’t prefer cheese, try our Garlic Roasted Brussel Sprouts.

Roasted Brussel Sprouts Parmesan Storage
Storing: This will last in the refrigerator for up to 4 days in an airtight container. They do tend to get soggy though so we recommend serving them warm after roasting.
Freezing: I wouldn’t recommend freezing these after they have been roasted. They will get soggy
Reheating: Yes, in the oven, in a skillet, or in the microwave. The microwave is easiest but will make them a little bit soggy, so you may want to reheat in the oven/ toaster oven or in a skillet until warm.
Parmesan Brussel Sprouts FAQs
Adding salt can help with the bitterness of brussel sprouts.
If your brussels sprouts aren’t getting crispy, it usually means your oven isn’t hot enough. Make sure to cook them at a minimum of 400 degrees. It’s also helpful to add a small amount of olive oil, but don’t add too much!
Yes, trimming and slicing brussels sprouts in half before cooking will help them cook perfectly
We don’t recommend boiling brussels sprouts before cooking. They can get really soggy.
They will turn soft and mushy if they are overcooked. They also give off a strong odor!
