Ingredients

  • Shredded BelGioioso Parmesan cheese weighing 8 ounces
  • A single tablespoon of white wine vinegar
  • Three tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil
  • Two cups of chopped Brussels sprouts
  • A big orange cut into wedges
  • Two tablespoons of finely chopped roasted hazelnuts
  • A half cup of halved red grapes

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Prepare a sheet pan by greasing it with oil and scatter 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese in little heaps across the pan.

Step 2

Bake for around 8 minutes or until the cheese takes on a golden hue. Once done, take it out of the oven and allow it to cool for about a minute. Gently lift the cheese crisps off the pan and let them cool completely.

Step 3

In a small mixing bowl, combine vinegar and olive oil, whisking them together. Pour this dressing over the Brussels sprouts that have been chopped and give it a good toss until all the sprouts are coated. Transfer this mix to a serving bowl and embellish it with segments of fresh orange, toasted hazelnuts, and juicy red grapes. Finish off by decorating with the Parmesan crisps.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your crispy lettuce leaves fresh by storing them in a clean, dry kitchen towel in the fridge. This will help maintain their crunchiness.
  2. 2. Store your grated Parmesan cheese in an airtight container in the fridge to prevent it from going rubbery or losing its flavor.
