Italian Brussels Sprouts (Gluten Free, One Pan, Dairy Free Option)

As the clock ticks, we get closer and closer to Thanksgiving! I love the turkey and my dad always smokes a pork butt, but I’m really showing up for the sides… and the desserts. But let’s talk about the sides- they’re the best part, in my opinion. Sometimes I don’t even get turkey because I don’t want to give up valuable plate real estate for something more important. Things that matter more to me: cheesy vegetables.

This dish is a little bit of a take on my mom’s pizza squash- which is INSANELY delicious in its own right. I can personally promise you that this will be the quickest and easiest dish you make for thanksgiving… or any other night. 10 minutes in the oven and DONE! Using pre-shaved Brussels sprouts makes it even easier! You can absolutely buy whole sprouts and just chop them up in the food processor. It’s cheesy, it’s a vegetable, it’s perfectly seasoned and cooked- it’s basically all my dreams in one simple dish.

You can sub pecorino (sheep’s milk cheese) for the parmesan if you can’t consume cow’s milk. I LOVE parmesan because it’s hard and salty and gives the best flavor to anything, but especially vegetables. I would encourage you to try it on broccoli, asparagus, or any of your favorite green vegetables. Make sure you add this recipe to your Thanksgiving roundup, and have a happy Thanksgiving!
