2tablespoonsextra-virgin olive oil
1teaspoonkosher salt
1teaspoonground black pepper
1teaspoononion powder
1teaspoongarlic powder
1teaspoondry mustard

1tablespoonParmesan cheese, fresh shredded
Instructions
Preheat a grill over high heat and oil the grill grates.
Cut off the stem end of the brussels sprouts and slice them in half lengthwise.
Remove any loose outer leaves from the sprouts and add them to a large bowl.
Add the olive oil, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder and dry mustard powder, toss the sprouts to coat in the seasoning.
Place the sprouts, cut side down, on a hot grill for 6 minutes. Do not touch the sprouts during this cooking time.
After 6 minutes, flip the sprouts and continue cooking for an additional 4-6 minutes.
Remove the sprouts from the grill and place them back in the bowl that you seasoned them in at the beginning of the recipe.
Add the lemon zest and parmesan cheese, toss to coat.
Serve immediately as a side dish, with a dipping sauce as an appetizer, or on top of a salad. (Dipping sauce recommendations and salad recipe instructions below.)
Notes
To serve the brussels sprouts on a salad, you'll need:
2 romaine hearts (chopped)
¼ cup parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
¼ cup sliced almonds
½ avocado (diced)
½ red apple (diced)
⅓ cup lemon vinaigrette dressing
How to prepare the salad:
Chop the romaine hearts and add them to a large mixing bowl.
Toss the chopped romaine with the lemon vinaigrette dressing.
Top with the parmesan cheese, almonds, diced avocado, diced apples and grilled brussels sprouts.
If serving the sprouts as an appetizer, I recommend the following dipping sauces:
Harissa Tahini Sauce
Chimichurri Sauce
Vegan Avocado Ranch Dip
Creamy Cashew Chipotle Sauce
This recipe can be made vegan by omitting the parmesan cheese. Replace the parmesan with a sprinkling of flaky sea salt at the end to give the dish that delicious salty finish!
