Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any damaged outer leaves. Slice each sprout in half lengthwise.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the sprouts are evenly coated.
Spread the Brussels sprouts in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet, cut side down for better caramelization.
Roast the Brussels sprouts in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, stirring them halfway through. They should be golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges when done.
Remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven and transfer them to a serving bowl.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the roasted sprouts while they are still warm, allowing it to melt slightly.
Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the sprouts and toss gently to distribute the flavor evenly.
If desired, add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle hint of heat.
Serve immediately as a side dish or appetizer and enjoy!
