Gluten-Free Parmesan Crusted Brussels Sprouts

What You Will Need:

1 pound of Brussels sprouts
1 cup of ground pork rinds
1 cup of parmesan cheese
1 cup of almond flour
1 teaspoon of sea salt
1 teaspoon of black pepper
1 teaspoon of garlic powder
1 teaspoon of paprika (smoked or not)
3 beaten eggs

Prepping Brussels Sprouts for Roasting

I included crumbled pork rinds in this recipe because they act as bread crumbs and you do not have to add butter because of the fat content of the pork rinds. The almond flour replaces the all purpose flour. The spices, however, are up to you. You can add cayenne or chili powder if you want a kick to the roasted brussels sprouts. Another option is to add oregano and dip them in a marinara sauce!

Step by Step Assembly for Crispy Sprouts

After setting up the three bowls, start by coating the halved brussels sprouts, one by one, into the flour mixture. The flour mixture will stick best to the cut half of the brussels sprout. It will still have a bit of moisture left after cutting it. The egg mixture should stick to the floured brussels sprout with no problem. Lastly, dip the egg coated brussels sprouts in the parmesan mixture. Place the coated brussels sprouts on a lined baking tray.

I have found it is a good idea to use one hand for dipping in the dry bowls and one for dipping in the egg bowl. This way your hands will not get an egg and parmesan coating too!

Oven Roasting Your Delicious Brussels Sprouts

Bake the brussels sprouts at 400 for about 20 minutes. The baking time will vary with ovens and how golden brown and delicious you want them. I have found that 20 minutes works out just fine. Serve them with a dipping sauce as an appetizer or as a side dish. I am sure you will love them!

FAQ’s:

What makes these Roasted Parmesan Brussels Sprouts gluten-free?

This recipe uses almond flour instead of traditional all-purpose flour, and ground pork rinds as a substitute for bread crumbs, making them naturally gluten-free.

What kind of pork rinds should I use for this recipe?

The recipe calls for ground pork rinds. You can typically find these pre-ground, or you can grind whole pork rinds in a food processor to use as a substitute for bread crumbs.

How do I get the coating to stick to the Brussels sprouts?

The recipe uses a three-bowl breading method. After halving the sprouts, coat them first in the almond flour mixture (which sticks to the natural moisture), then in beaten egg, and finally in the parmesan-pork rind mixture.

Can I add different spices to these roasted Brussels sprouts?

Yes, absolutely! While the recipe includes garlic powder and paprika, you can customize the spices. Consider adding cayenne or chili powder for a kick, or oregano for a different herbal flavor.

Notes

The almond flour can be difficult to stick to the brussels sprouts. The cut facing is damp enough for the almond flour to stick. The egg will help the parmesan mixture to stick to the outside of the sprout.
