These aren’t your mama’s brussel sprouts. I say that because my mom would boil them until they were mush and slather them in butter. These Crispy Parmesan Brussel Sprouts with Roasted Garlic Aioli could easily turn a hater into a lover! Parmesan and panko crusted brussel sprouts with an amazing aioli loaded with roasted garlic. Yum!
You could serve these as is roasted with the crispy coating and they are so good but the aioli takes them to the next level. Maybe a few levels! Also, roasting garlic is so simple!
How to Make Roasted Garlic Aioli
Let’s start with the aioli because it takes longer to prepare than the brussel sprouts. You’ll need to roast two head of garlic which takes about an hour. It is 100% worth it though and so simple. Slice the ends off of two head of garlic leaving the root end intact. Place them on a piece of tin foil, drizzle with olive oil, and wrap up.
You’ll know the garlic is done when the cloves are dark brown and soft like pictured.
Squeeze the soft cloves out of the heads of garlic and mash with a fork to make a paste. Then combine with the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon, Worcestershire, and cayenne.
Whisk together then place in the fridge while preparing the sprouts.
How to Prepare the Brussel Sprouts
First, cut off ends and trim off outer leaves of brussel sprouts then cut them in half. Place in a bowl.
Next, add melted butter, olive oil, shredded parmesan and panko bread crumbs. Toss to coat then pour onto a baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
