Bring a large pot of water to a boil - add salt to the water once it boils. Add the brussels sprouts to the pot. Boil for 10 minutes, drain and rinse with cold water. Allow the sprouts to cool for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, place a large baking sheet on the bottom rack of the oven and preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
Grab a cup with a flat bottom. Take 1 sprout and place it on a cutting board. Firmly press down on the sprout with the bottom of the cup. Place the sprouts in a bowl with the shallots, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic salt & pepper. Carefully toss together. Transfer to the pre-heated baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.
Remove from the oven, add the vegan parm and flip the sprouts. Place back in the oven for 10 minutes.
Remove from the oven and serve - be sure to scrape the crispy bits off the bottom of the baking sheet!
*Be sure not to cut too high - you want to keep the whole sprout intact.
