Crispy Vegan Parmesan Smashed Brussels Sprouts

Crispy Vegan Parmesan Smashed Brussels Sprouts make a fantastic appetizer or side dish, especially around the holiday season, which is coming up!

even before the holidays start, add Crispy Vegan Parmesan Smashed Brussels Sprouts to your menu because they’re INCREDIBLE!

garlicky, crispy and salty goodness that tastes super indulgent, yet you’re eating healthy Brussels sprouts!

brussels sprouts don’t always get the attention they deserve but when you prepare them the right way, brussels sprouts are dreamy.

Crispy Vegan Parmesan Smashed Brussels Sprouts are first boiled for ten minutes. this is a very important step, because they have to tenderize before being placed in the oven.

after the brussels sprouts are boiled, they can be tossed with avocado oil or extra virgin olive oil.

i also add sea salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. you won’t need a lot of sea salt though because the vegan parmesan cheese is salty.

as far as parmesan cheese goes, Alex and i both prefer violife! you can grate some on top or add shaved pieces like i did.

if you don’t care for vegan parmesan cheese, you are always welcome to try something else. mozzarella would be great along with vegan goat cheese or something!
