A slick of oil and sprinkling of salt are the only adornments brussels sprouts need to shine. But put a crispy Parmesan skirt on them and suddenly the humble veggie becomes the belle of the ball. This recipe does just that. By roasting the brussels sprouts snuggled into a blanket of grated Parmesan cheese, the cheese melts into a crispy, frico-like sheet that clings onto the sprouts, surrounding them in a lace-like halo. It’s a dramatic side dish, but one that makes a serious statement. If roasted correctly, and the stars align in your favor, you can unpeel the entire sheet off in one swift swoop, presenting it as the culinary masterpiece it is. Fans of fun, this is for you.
