Easy Cheesy Snack

Preheat oven to 425° F (220 °C).

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper; lightly coat with spray. Set aside.

Bring water to a boil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add brussels sprouts; cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until tender. Drain well; pat dry with paper towels.

Spread brussels sprouts in a single layer on prepared sheet. Using the back of a heavy wooden spoon, gently smash each one. Pat dry again with paper towels.

Add Parmesan cheese, lemon peel, oil, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes; toss to coat.

Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until lightly browned and edges are crisped.

Serve immediately or at room temperature.

Tips: • It’s important to get your boiled brussels sprouts as dry as possible. This will help achieve extra crispiness when baking.

• You can also air-fry these brussels sprouts at the same temperature for 10 to 15 minutes, or until crispy.
