"text": " The answer to this question depends on how your Parmesan cheese was made. Most Parmesan cheese is made with an enzyme called rennet<\/a>. Rennet is animal-based and is not suitable for a strict vegetarian diet. With that said, there are Parmesan cheeses on the market that are made using plant rennet, so make sure to read the label. <\/p>"

"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": " Start by trimming a thin slice from the stem end of each sprout, but don't cut off the stem completely. Keeping the stem intact helps keep the Brussels sprout in one piece while cooking. Discard any brown or yellow leaves. Rinse them in a colander under cold running water, pat dry and then cut the Brussels sprouts in half.<\/p>"

"name": "What type of pan should I use for roasting Brussels sprouts?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": " We recommend using a large rimmed baking sheet, which is large enough to roast the Brussels sprouts in an even layer. When roasting Brussels sprouts, they should be in a single layer with some space around each. This allows air to circulate around them so that they brown and crisp evenly. Overcrowding the Brussels sprouts will steam them instead of roasting them. <\/p>"
