Parmesan Brussels Sprouts

ingredients

• 1 kg Brussels sprouts
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 lemon
• 1 teaspoon chilli flakes
• 4 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan , or vegetarian hard cheese

method

Preheat the oven to 220ºC/gas 7.Trim and halve the brussels sprouts, then place on a large baking tray. Add the oil, grate over the lemon zest, then sprinkle with the chilli flakes and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Mix with your hands to coat.Roast in the oven for 10 minutes – the sprouts should start to caramelise in places; when that happens, scatter over the Parmesan and roast for a further 15 minutes, until the cheese is crisp and golden brown, and the sprouts tender.
