• 12-15 brussels sprouts
• 1-2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp onion powder
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp paprika
• 1/4 tsp mustard powder
• Pinch cayenne pepper
• 1+ cup shredded parmesan cheese (freshly & finely shredded is best!)
• 1/4 cup mayo
• 2 tbsp dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp hot sauce of choice
• 1 tbsp honey

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200˚C

Step 2

Toss brussels sprouts in a small amount of olive oil and place on a baking sheet.

Step 3

Cover with foil and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through cook time, until fork tender.

Step 4

Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix together the salt, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, mustard powder and cayenne.

Step 6

Trim the ends and then cut the brussels sprouts in half. Optional: flatten the brussels sprouts by placing another sheet pan on top and pressing down. Season liberally on both sides with the spice blend.

Step 7

Place a little less than 1 tbsp of parmesan down on a sheet pan for each brussels sprout half, then place them flat side down on the parmesan and press down gently.

Step 8

Return to the oven for 10-12 minutes, until the cheese is crispy. Meanwhile, whisk together all ingredients for the hot honey mustard.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly, then use a spatula to release from the pan. Serve warm with dipping sauce and enjoy!!
