Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Comments are Disabled

Roasted Brussels sprouts are honestly one of my favorite side dishes ever. If you’ve only had them steamed or boiled, you’re in for a total game changer. When roasted, they become crispy on the outside, tender inside, and full of rich, caramelized flavor. I used to think Brussels sprouts were just okay until I started roasting them with olive oil and a sprinkle of salt. Now, I can eat an entire tray straight from the pan.

How to Make Roasted Brussels Sprouts

  1. Preheat the Oven
    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare the Brussels Sprouts
    Rinse and trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts. Cut them in half, especially the larger ones, so they roast evenly.
  3. Season Them
    Place the Brussels sprouts in a bowl. Add olive oil, salt, and pepper, then toss to coat everything evenly.
  4. Arrange and Roast
    Spread them out in a single layer on the baking sheet with the cut sides facing down. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until they’re golden and crisp on the edges.
  5. Finish and Serve
    Once roasted, you can drizzle with a little balsamic vinegar or honey if you like a touch of sweetness. Serve warm as a side or even as a snack straight from the pan.

Tips for Perfect Brussels Sprouts

  • Make sure the sprouts are dry before roasting so they crisp up nicely.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan or they’ll steam instead of roast.
  • For extra flavor, sprinkle parmesan cheese or red pepper flakes before serving.
