This is the perfect side dish! And one that is sure to change anyone’s mind who THINKS they don’t like brussels sprouts. Because these are salty, savory, tender, AND have tasty little crispy parts. Just overall delicious. The addition of the crispy shallots and vegan parmesan make these even better! A veggie side has never been tastier.

How to smash the brussels sprouts

To make the sprouts, add them to a big pot of boiling water. After 10 minutes, drain and rinse them under cold water. Let them cool down for a few minutes.

Grab a cup with a flat bottom. Take a sprout and place it on a cutting board. Firmly press down on the sprout with the cup…and there you go. Smashed sprouts.

Place them in a large bowl and add the shallots, olive oil & seasonings. Gently toss until everything is combined, then spread them out on a large baking sheet.

Finish off the sprouts

After 15 minutes in the oven, take them out and add the vegan parm – this is when things get really good. Toss the sprouts and place them back in the oven for 10 minutes.

When you take them out, the sprouts should be tender with some spots that are crispy & delicious. Be sure to scrape down those crispy bits on the baking sheet, because you’re going to want to eat those.

And that’s it! These are such a delicious way to eat your veggies – you will want to eat the whole platter!
