Roasted Parmesan Brussels Sprouts

I must admit that I haven’t been a big fan of Brussels sprouts for years. However, I have changed my mind on one Christmas party where I had been served some delicious roasted Brussels sprouts. They were so good that I decided to make them again for my Christmas dinner. Well, after a few attempts, I believe I nailed it and my Roasted Parmesan Brussels sprouts are the best.
