FAQs
Can I use frozen Brussels sprouts for this recipe?
Fresh Brussels sprouts work best for this dish because they roast nicely and crisp up. Frozen sprouts tend to release more moisture and may become soggy rather than crispy.
What can I substitute for parmesan if I’m allergic?
You can replace parmesan with nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor or omit it entirely. Adding extra breadcrumbs and seasoning will help maintain texture and taste.
