Crispy, cheesy Cacio e Pepe brussels sprouts that you can make in the air fryer or the oven! We toss the sprouts in garlic butter, roast them, and then top them with freshly cracked pepper and Pecorino Romano cheese!
Servings: 5 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb. brussels sprouts trimmed and cut in half
- 3 tablespoons salted butter melted
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper or more
- ½ cup freshly grated pecorino Romano cheese or parmesan
Instructions
- TOSS: In a medium bowl, toss the brussels sprouts in melted butter, garlic powder, and black pepper until they're evenly coated.
Cook:
- AIR FRYER: Preheat the air fryer at 375ºF. Spread the Brussels sprouts out in the air fryer basket, and cook for 5 minutes. Then, open the air fryer, top with cheese. Close the air fryer and continue to cook for 3-5 minutes until golden and cooked.
- OVEN: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the one to 425ºF. Line a baking sheet with foil, spray with cooking spray to keep everything from sticking. Add the prepared brussels sprouts to the baking dish in a single layer and roast for 15-18 minutes or until they’re tender and browned. Sprinkle with cheese, and pop under the broiler for 30 seconds – 1 minute or until the cheese melts and gets all bubbly and golden.
