Cooking Time: 37 minutes

Ingredients

• 1.5 Pounds (lb) Brussels sprouts
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) salt
• 4 Tablespoons (tbsp) unsalted butter, melted
• 4 Tablespoons (tbsp) Parmesan cheese, grated
• 4 Tablespoons (tbsp) Panko breadcrumbs, seasoned
• 0.25 Teaspoon (tsp) garlic powder
• 0.25 Teaspoon (tsp) black pepper, ground
• 0.25 Teaspoon (tsp) seasoning salt
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) almonds, slivered (optional)

Steps

1. Preheat your oven's broiler to high and position the rack about 4 inches from the heat source.
2. Wash and trim the Brussels sprouts, cutting an "X" about 1/8 inch deep in the stem to ensure even cooking.
3. In a medium-sized pot, cover the Brussels sprouts with water, add 1 teaspoon of salt, and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for 6 minutes or until tender. Drain immediately to prevent overcooking.
4. Transfer the drained Brussels sprouts to a small casserole dish. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of melted butter and toss to coat evenly.
5. In a separate bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, seasoned Panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, black pepper, seasoning salt, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
6. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the Brussels sprouts. If using, add slivered almonds on top for an extra crunch.
7. Place the casserole dish under the broiler and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
8. Serve the Brussels sprouts hot, garnished with a sprinkle of extra Parmesan if desired. Enjoy the perfect blend of flavors and textures that will have everyone reaching for seconds!
