Parmesan Crusted Brussels Sprouts

Prepare Brussels Sprouts:
0 Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper
2 Trim the stem end of each Brussels sprout and remove any damaged outer leaves. Cut each sprout in half.
Prepare Seasonings:
13 In a small bowl, melt the butter. Stir in the dried parsley, dried thyme, red pepper flakes, minced garlic, salt and pepper.
3 In a large mixing bowl, combine the Brussels sprouts and the garlic herb butter mixture. Toss the sprouts until they are well-coated with the seasoned butter.
5 Sprinkle a little 1-2 tbsp of the parmesan cheese over the Brussels sprouts and toss them again.
Arrange on Baking Sheet:
14 Generously sprinkle a layer of grated Parmesan cheese on the line baking sheet.
6 Spread the Brussels sprouts evenly on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are cut-side down to maximize the crispiness.
7 Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are tender on the inside and have developed a golden, crispy crust on the outside. You can check for doneness by inserting a fork into one of the sprouts; it should go in easily.
9 Transfer the Parmesan Crusted Brussels Sprouts to a serving platter and serve hot.
Honey Mustard Sauce
11 In a small bowl, combine the regular mustard, dijon mustard, honey, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, salt and pepper. Whisk the mixture together until it's smooth and well combined. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings if needed. Add more honey or mustard to reach desired balance of sweet and tangy.
12 If you have time, refrigerate the sauce for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This step is optional but can enhance the sauce's overall taste.
