Ingredients

• 1 pound Brussels sprouts
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Vegan Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Begin by washing and trimming the Brussels sprouts. Cut them in half lengthwise.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, add the trimmed Brussels sprouts along with olive oil, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, nutritional yeast, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Toss the Brussels sprouts in the seasoning mix until they are well coated.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the Brussels sprouts, cut side down, in a single layer. You may need to do this in batches.

Step 5

Allow the Brussels sprouts to cook without stirring for about 5-7 minutes or until the cut sides are deeply golden brown and crisp.

Step 6

Flip the Brussels sprouts and cook for an additional 5 minutes on the other side until they are crispy all over.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove them from the skillet and place on a serving plate.

Step 8

Sprinkle with vegan Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley.

Step 9

Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an extra tangy flavor kick.
