parmesan crusted brussels sprouts on a sheet pan next to a ramekin of caesar dressing

Whatever your usual feelings for Brussels sprouts, this recipe will have you singing their praises. Coated in a cheesy, garlicky mixture, baked on high heat for an ultra-crispy crust, and served alongside a homemade Caesar dressing, this fall appetizer is sure to steal the show at your next dinner party. They’re so easy to whip up, only taking around 30 minutes for a delicious side everyone will be grabbing for. Try spearing them with toothpicks and turning them into a bite-sized app for your next party, too!

Can I make these the day before?
Honestly, I wouldn’t recommend it. These sprouts are best served immediately, hot out of the oven, and will become less crispy the longer they sit. If you do make a batch and have some leftovers you want to reheat, I recommend putting them back in the oven on high heat instead of the microwave.

What other dipping sauces can I use?
The options are endless! I think almost anything pairs well with these cheesy bites. Homemade marinara and ranch dressing would also be perfectly dippable, or even avocado ranch if you’re feelin’ wild.

Can I make these in the air fryer?
No prob! If you want to make these in the air fryer instead of the oven, make sure to spray or line the bottom of your air fryer so none of that delicious crust sticks to the bottom. Also, cook your batches in a single layer so every sprout gets equally crispy.
