Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb medium to large Brussels sprouts, trimmed (16-18)
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tsp everything bagel seasoning
- Zest from 1 large lemon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Fill a large bowl with ice water.
- Bring a large saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Add Brussels sprouts, reduce heat to maintain a lively simmer and cook until just tender when pierced with a skewer, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Drain the sprouts and plunge them into the ice bath. Let stand until cool enough to handle.
- Transfer the sprouts to a clean dish towel and pat dry.
- Spread the sprouts on a large rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with oil; toss to coat.
- Space the sprouts evenly on the pan, then flatten them with the bottom of a Mason jar or sturdy glass.
- Roast for 10 minutes. Gently flip the flattened sprouts and sprinkle with Parmesan, everything bagel seasoning and lemon zest.
- Return to the oven and bake until the cheese has melted, about 5 minutes more.
