If you want to save time, try using an air fryer. This method cooks the sprouts faster while keeping them crispy. Just set it to 375°F and cook for about 15 minutes.

Cool your Garlic Parmesan Roasted Brussels Sprouts completely before storage. This step helps keep them fresh. Once cooled, place the sprouts in an airtight container. Store them in the refrigerator for up to three days. Keeping them sealed prevents moisture loss and retains flavor. To reheat, the oven method works best. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the sprouts on a baking sheet and heat for about 10–15 minutes. This keeps them crispy and delicious. If you need a quicker option, use the microwave. Heat on medium power for 1–2 minutes, checking to avoid sogginess. You can freeze these sprouts, which is great for meal prep. Portion the sprouts into smaller bags or containers before freezing. This makes it easy to grab a serving later. To reheat from frozen, bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20–25 minutes. Alternatively, let them thaw overnight in your fridge for even cooking. Yes, you can use frozen Brussels sprouts, but fresh is best. Frozen sprouts tend to be softer. If you use them, thaw and drain them first. Pat them dry to avoid sogginess. This helps them crisp up better when roasted. Adjust the cooking time to about 25-30 minutes to ensure they cook through. Roast the Brussels sprouts for 20 minutes at 425°F. After that, add Parmesan and roast for another 10-15 minutes. The goal is to have them crispy and golden brown. You can check for doneness by piercing one with a fork. It should be tender inside. Adding balsamic vinegar is not required but highly recommended. It gives a tangy flavor that balances the rich cheese. If you prefer, you can use lemon juice or skip it entirely. Both options still taste great and add a unique twist. You learned how to make delicious roasted Brussels sprouts. We covered the main ingredients, seasoning tips, and variations.
