Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow or damaged leaves. Cut them in half lengthwise.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until they are deeply golden and crispy. Shake the pan halfway through to ensure even cooking.
While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, prepare the lemon vinaigrette. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Once the Brussels sprouts are done, let them cool slightly.
In a large salad bowl, combine the roasted Brussels sprouts, finely sliced shallot, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley.
Drizzle the lemon vinaigrette over the salad and toss to combine.
Serve the salad warm or at room temperature, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and parsley, if desired.
