Ingredients
4 slices crusty, bakery-style white bread (about 5 ounces)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts
1/4 cup olive oil
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Remove the crusts from the bread slices. Cut the bread into large cubes. Transfer to a food processor and pulse until uniformly chopped (the pieces of bread should be slightly smaller than a peppercorn; you should have about 2 cups).
- Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in the melted butter, Parmesan, a pinch of salt and few grinds of black pepper. Spread on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until golden brown and crisp, stirring halfway through, about 14 minutes. Set aside on a wire rack to cool.
- Meanwhile, place another rimmed baking sheet in the oven to preheat.
- Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts, remove any tough or bruised outer leaves and cut each in half lengthwise. Toss the Brussels sprouts, olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a large bowl.
- Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and add the Brussels sprouts, cut-side down, in an even layer. Roast until well browned and tender, about 30 minutes.
- Transfer the Brussels sprouts to a serving platter and top with the Parmesan breadcrumbs.
