Info and tips for crispy parmesan brussels spouts

Boiling the brussels sprouts prior to roasting them will help them be more soft and tender. I boiled mine for 6-7 minutes and they were tender with a little bite of bite still. If you want to make smashed parmesan brussels sprouts you can boil for 10-12 minutes until they are really soft, and then press down with a heavy sheet pan or glass.
