Ingredients
- 12 pieces medium oysters, shucked on the half shell
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon chili flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon salt

- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
Step 2
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, lemon juice, chili flakes, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Arrange the shucked oysters on the prepared baking sheet, carefully ensuring they are level to avoid spilling the butter mixture.
Step 5
Spoon the prepared garlic Parmesan butter evenly over each oyster.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the oysters are cooked through and the topping is golden brown.
Step 7
Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Step 8
Garnish each oyster with a sprinkle of additional chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
