Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1.25 cups Milk
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cups Breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Trim the ends off the Brussels sprouts and remove any discolored outer leaves. Cut larger sprouts in half.
Place the Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and toss to coat evenly.
Roast the Brussels sprouts in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender and caramelized.
While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, prepare the cheese sauce. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste, stirring constantly.
Gradually pour in the milk while continuing to whisk to prevent lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and garlic powder. Stir until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat.
Transfer the roasted Brussels sprouts to a greased baking dish. Pour the cheese sauce over the sprouts and gently toss to coat.
In a small bowl, mix the Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the cheese-covered Brussels sprouts.
Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your Cheesy Brussels Sprouts warm!
