Crispy Grana Brussel Sprouts

Prep Time: 15 Min
Cook Time: 20 - 25 Min

WHAT YOU NEED

Preheat your oven to 400 F. Add the butter, one of the sliced chilis, and the fresh thyme leaves to a 12" skillet. Place this in the oven to preheat while you prep your brussels.
Cut the ends off of the brussel sprouts and trim excess leaves. Halve the brussel sprouts and give them a wash. Leave them in the strainer to drain off while you mix your grana mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the grana padano, Italian seasoning, vegeta, and cracked pepper to taste.
Once preheated, remove the hot skillet from the oven and make sure to spread out the chilis & thyme around the skillet. Sprinkle the grana mixture over the skillet to form a layer on the bottom of the skillet. Arrange the brussel sprouts cut side down around the skillet, gently nestling them in to the cheesy bottom. Season the skillet with sea salt & cracked pepper, sprinkle the gruyere & remaining chilis over the brussel sprouts.
Bake 20 - 25 minutes until brussel sprouts are tender. Remove from oven and cool for 5ish before serving. Make sure to chip away at the cheesy grana layer when you're serving up the sprouts. The crusty cheese is the best part. Sprinkle with additional grana padano & serve your sprouts with a drizzle of balsamic reduction for the best experience for your taste buds. It's not a requirement, but it takes them to the next level. ENJOY!
