Ingredients:

24 oz (700 g) brussels sprouts trimmed and cut in half lengthways

2-3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

6 cloves garlic, minced (1 tablespoon)

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper

1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (or provolone)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with nonstick cooking oil spray. Arrange sprouts on baking sheet in a single layer. Set aside.

2. In a small bowl mix together olive oil, melted butter, garlic, salt and pepper. Drizzle the oil/butter mixture over the brussels sprouts and toss to evenly coat.

3. Bake for 20-25 minutes until vibrant and just fork tender.

4. Remove from oven and top with the cheese. Return to oven and broil (or grill) until the cheese melts and becomes golden (about 4-5 minutes). Adjust salt and pepper, if needed. Serve immediately!

Bon Appetit!
