Parmesan Brussels sprouts

Ingredients:

  • 200 gm Brussels sprouts
  • 1 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 lemon zest and juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon chilli flakes
  • 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan , or vegetarian hard cheese

Recipe:

  • Preheat the oven to 220ºC/gas 7.
  • Trim and halve the brussels sprouts, then place on a large baking tray. Add the oil, grate over the lemon zest, then sprinkle with the chilli flakes and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Mix with your hands to coat.
  • Roast in the oven for 10 minutes – the sprouts should start to caramelise in places; when that happens, scatter over the Parmesan and roast for a further 15 minutes, until the cheese is crisp and golden brown, and the sprouts tender.
