Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds Brussels sprouts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 4 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 tablespoons dried bread crumbs
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon seasoning salt
Instructions
- Wash and trim Brussels sprouts. Cut an “X” about 1/8 inch deep in the stem of the sprouts (this helps cook the sprouts more evenly and quickly).
- In a medium-size pot, cover Brussels sprouts with water; add 1 teaspoon salt and bring to boil. Cover and simmer for 6 minutes or until tender; drain. Be careful not to overcook sprouts.
- Place sprouts in a small casserole dish. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of melted butter over the sprouts and mix well to coat.
- Combine Parmesan cheese, dried bread crumbs, garlic powder, black pepper, seasoning salt, and remaining butter and mix well; sprinkle mixture over sprouts.
- Heat sprouts under broiler (about 4 inches away from heat) for about 5 minutes or until crumb mixture is lightly browned. Serve hot.

Very tasty! Keep an eye on the broiling step so as to not burn
Loved it! I had a frozen bag of steamable Brussels sprouts, so I used that instead of fresh. The topping gave it great flavor and crunch, and was a quick way to jazz up steamed vegetables. I halved the sprouts so the cheese/bread crumbs would stick better and be easier to eat. Would eat it this way every time!
I liked it–but I love brussel sprouts–any which way they are cooked. Tried as written. GOOD BUT FATTENING! Next time I made it I lowered the butter to 2 tablespoons also that is ALOT of breading– only used 2 tbs parmesan and 2 tbs bread crubs, more garlic powder. a tad Better for you. Husband liked (and he is not fond of brussel sprouts at all ). So that was a win but personal I would rather just have them roasted or boiled with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. But everyone has a different taste palate. This would be good to make if you are just introducing brussel sprouts to kids!!
didn’t do the last step because frankly, I didn’t see it and it still turned out great.
I would give this 50 stars if I could. This recipe made even the most skeptical members of my family true lovers of brussel sprouts. My family keeps asking for this dish over and over.
I love these. Easy to make, fast, and so delicious.
This is my basic recipe for MANY vegetables and how I get fussy eaters to eat them. You can also sprinkle slivered almonds on top before baking. Also frozen Brussels Sprouts (or any green vegetable) can be cooked in the microwave before going in the oven with the toppings. Easy, peas, tasty.
Delicious even though I made the mistake of getting it ready ahead of time. Should have just baked in oven rather than broil as not quite hot enough.
My husband LOVES Brussel sprouts. When his kids were growing up he called them Martian heads, so that’s what we call them. I’m always looking for new ways to make them. So far, this has been his favorite, and mine as well!
Yummy! Even my daughter who does not care for brussel sprouts, devoured them with the delicious topping.
Simple to make, tasted great. And my brussel sprout hating daughter loved them!!
I cooked the sprouts longer, before putting them in the oven and roasting them.
The breadcrumbs were the best part! I recommend making extra 🙂
I have been trying to find additional ways to make brussels sprouts besides the traditional bacon/onion way. This one is definitely a winner! This will be a staple for me. Next time I might try roasting them first instead of boiling.
had great flavor
I didn’t like these.
These were delicious! I took the advice of another reviewer and put a few splashes of soy sauce on the brussel sprouts. Loved this!
Loved it! This is one of those recipes that are simple but elegant, the perfect combination. Let everyone think you slaved away all day long to make it. 😉 The only change I made, and only because I was out of bread crumbs (which is rare),was to use Buttery Garlic Ritz crackers . It’s heavenly with them! I won’t be using breadcrumbs with this again. You won’t be disappointed if you make it. Now to try this with broccoli or cauliflower or green beans or carrots. Cant wait!
This was SO good. The only change I would make is to maybe add a bit more topping because it was so yummy! Thanks!
This is similar to a recipe for green beans my grandmother often made growing up, I adapted it to brussel sprouts. I use olive oil instead of butter.
My go-to recipe for brussels. Delicious!
