Transfer the brussels sprouts to a large cutting board and pat dry with paper towels, to remove as much water as possible.

Drizzle the sprouts with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place in the oven for 15 minutes.

Remove the sprouts from the oven and flip them over. Top with the garlic powder, parmesan cheese and chili flakes. Place back in the oven and bake for another six to eight minutes.
