For extra crispy Brussels sprouts, ensure they are completely dry before tossing with oil and seasonings. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses. Pecorino Romano or Asiago are excellent alternatives to Parmesan. If you prefer a touch of sweetness, drizzle a teaspoon of maple syrup or balsamic glaze over the sprouts after cooking. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
