Can I use frozen brussels sprouts?

Of course, this recipe can be made with either fresh brussels sprouts, or frozen for extra convenience. It’s no shock that the fresh ones might turn out a bit crunchier, but they are both equally yummy.

🔪 How To Make Smashed Brussels Sprouts

Step 1 First, steam your brussels sprouts until they are cooked enough to smash or to easily poke with a fork. Follow the packaging instructions if you’re using frozen brussels sprouts.
Step 2 Once softened, throw your brussels sprouts in some garlic powder, salt, olive oil, and pepper.
Step 3 Arrange them separately over a baking pan covered in parchment paper, then press them down using the bottom of a cup.
Step 4 Load it up with shredded parmesan on top, and cook in your oven until the cheese is browned for 15 minutes at 450 F.

If you’re on a keto diet, you’re going to love these oven-baked brussels sprouts, they’re very tasty and crunchy. They’re the perfect side to a good BBQ, chicken, seafood, steak, etc.

If you don’t like brussels sprouts, you probably just didn’t try them cooked properly, instead of the soggy mush you get when they’re boiled. Your picky kids will also enjoy these, just because it’s a vegetable doesn’t mean it can’t taste like a treat!

1 teaspoon of garlic powder
Pepper and salt
¼ cup of shredded parmesan

Instructions

Prep your brussels sprouts by slicing the bottoms off along with any bad leaves. Rinse them well, then steam them until easily poked with a fork for 15 minutes. Follow the packaging instructions if you're using frozen brussels sprouts. Strain with a colander and allow to chill for a couple minutes.
Throw your brussels sprouts in some seasoning and olive oil, then arrange the separately on your lined baking pan. Press them down using the bottom of a cup to make a flat patty.
Evenly coat each of the brussels sprouts with some shredded parmesan.

Notes

This recipe is delicious with both frozen and fresh brussels sprouts. A 12-ounce package from your nearest grocery store is good if you’re using it frozen. These are convenient because they come trimmed, washed, and steamed, however, if they’re used fresh, they are more likely to get crunchier. Either way, they both taste amazing.
