Instructions

- Spread Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Roast for 20-25 minutes or until tender-crisp and nicely browned with crispy edges.
- While the Brussels sprouts roast, melt butter in another large skillet over medium heat.
- Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
- Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth; season with salt and pepper.
- In a food processor or using an electric mixer, whip crumbled feta cheese with heavy cream and lemon juice (if using) until smooth.
- Arrange crispy Parmesan Brussels sprouts on plates or bowls.
- Top with garlic-infused creamy Alfredo sauce.
