Roasted Brussel Sprouts

Brussel sprouts seem to receive a lot of hate, but we think that’s because the masses have never had them cooked properly! They’re a very divisive vegetable, but they really shouldn’t be. Brussel sprouts have such a delicious and unique flavor that adapts to so many seasoning options.

They can compliment just about any dish (we honestly can’t think of one they wouldn’t go well with) whether that’s as part of a salad, roasted with other veggies, or all on their own. This recipe is a very basic version that essentially teaches you the proper method to get your brussel sprouts roasted to perfection each time.

You can fully customize your sprouts with different spices, sauces (a good balsamic glaze is perfection), garnishes (bacon bits anyone?), or even salad dressing. This recipe is so versatile, you could whip these up every night of the week! Although maybe don’t make them every night…let’s not get too excessive. 

Key Ingredients

  • brussel sprouts: You’ll need about 1 pound, cut in half and the hard ends trimmed off.
  • olive oil: Enough to lightly coat your brussel sprouts but not enough to drench them.
  • salt and pepper: To taste. Feel free to add additional seasoning and spices at this time.

How to Make Roasted Brussel Sprouts

  1. First up, preheat your oven to 425°F.
  2. Place the Brussel sprouts into a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to combine and coat.
  3. Transfer the Brussel sprouts to a large baking sheet and turn them flat side down.
  4. Bake the Brussel sprouts for 25-30 minutes or until they are browned on the bottom and the desired doneness is reached.
  5. Serve hot with your favorite main dish and enjoy!

Tips and Variations

  • Try drizzling with some honey and sriracha for a sweet yet spicy flavor combination!
  • If you’re using smaller brussel sprouts you can leave them whole, if using larger ones it’s recommended you cut them in half to make sure they cook all the way through. Either way be sure to cut off any stems or hard bottoms.
  • Try roasting garlic alongside your brussel sprouts then finishing them off with freshly shaved parmesan. 
  • To ensure your brussel sprouts don’t get soggy and retain that delicious crunch, don’t overcrowd your pan and don’t use too much olive oil.

Storage and Reheating

Storage: Leftover brussels sprouts can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge and will stay fresh for up to 4 days.

Reheating: When reheating, Roasted Brussel Sprouts can be warmed in the microwave or oven until heated through. We recommend the oven if you’d like to retain their crunch. A skillet with a lid on the stove will work as well.
