Begin by washing and trimming the Brussels sprouts. Cut them in half lengthwise.
In a large mixing bowl, add the trimmed Brussels sprouts along with olive oil, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, nutritional yeast, salt, and black pepper.
Toss the Brussels sprouts in the seasoning mix until they are well coated.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the Brussels sprouts, cut side down, in a single layer. You may need to do this in batches.
Allow the Brussels sprouts to cook without stirring for about 5-7 minutes or until the cut sides are deeply golden brown and crisp.
Flip the Brussels sprouts and cook for an additional 5 minutes on the other side until they are crispy all over.
Once cooked, remove them from the skillet and place on a serving plate.
Sprinkle with vegan Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an extra tangy flavor kick.
