Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2
Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellowing outer leaves. Using a food processor fitted with a slicing blade, coarsely shred the Brussels sprouts until uniformly sliced.
3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded Brussels sprouts with the extra virgin olive oil. Season generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss well until all the sprouts are evenly coated.
4
Spread the Brussels sprouts in an even layer on two large rimmed baking sheets to ensure proper roasting. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
5
Roast them in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Halfway through, rotate the baking sheets and stir the sprouts to promote even browning.
6
Once they are tender and have begun to brown in spots, remove them from the oven. Sprinkle the freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the top, toss gently, and return to the oven for an additional minute, just until the cheese is melted.

Transfer the seasoned Brussels sprouts to a serving bowl. Serve hot and enjoy your crispy, cheesy delight!
