Ingredients

1 pound Brussels sprouts
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pinch garlic powder
1 pinch red pepper flakes
salt and ground black pepper to taste
0.25 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese, or more to taste

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Trim the Brussels sprouts, removing any yellow or damaged outer leaves.
Insert a steamer into a saucepan and fill with water, ensuring it's just below the steamer's bottom. Bring the water to a boil, then add the Brussels sprouts. Cover and steam until tender, approximately 10 minutes. Drain thoroughly, pat dry, and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
In a bowl, toss the steamed Brussels sprouts with olive oil, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on the baking sheet. Using a Mason jar or another heavy, flat-bottomed object, press each sprout into a flat patty.
Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and cover with Parmesan cheese. Broil until the cheese is melted and begins to brown, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately and enjoy!
