Why You’ll Love This Roasted Brussels Sprouts Recipe
These sprouts are anything but bland. Roasting brings out their natural nuttiness and sweetness, while a touch of olive oil and seasoning creates a crispy outer layer that gives each bite a satisfying crunch. They’re easy to prepare, budget-friendly, and healthy—a win on all fronts.
Plus, you can customize them endlessly with add-ons like balsamic glaze, parmesan cheese, or red pepper flakes for extra zing.
What Kind of Brussels Sprouts Should I Use?
Fresh is best! Look for small to medium Brussels sprouts that are firm and bright green. The smaller they are, the sweeter and more tender they’ll be when roasted. Avoid yellowing leaves or any with dark spots.
Frozen Brussels sprouts can work in a pinch, but they tend to retain more moisture, which makes them less crispy when roasted.
Ingredients for the Roasted Brussels Sprouts
You only need a few staple ingredients to bring these flavorful Brussels sprouts to life:
- Brussels Sprouts: The star of the dish. Choose fresh and evenly sized sprouts for the most consistent roasting.
- Olive Oil: Helps the sprouts roast to a golden brown crisp. Don’t skimp on it!
- Salt and Pepper: Essential for enhancing the natural flavor of the Brussels sprouts.
- Garlic Powder: Adds a savory depth of flavor without overpowering the dish.
- Parmesan Cheese (optional): A final sprinkle adds a salty, nutty finish.
- Everything Bagel Seasoning (optional): For extra crunch and flair.
How To Make the Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Step 1: Prep the Sprouts
Trim the ends off the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half lengthwise. Remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves.
Step 2: Season Generously
In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved sprouts with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
Step 3: Roast to Perfection
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the sprouts cut-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 20-25 minutes or until golden and crispy, tossing halfway through.
Step 4: Finish and Serve
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with parmesan cheese or everything bagel seasoning if desired. Serve immediately while hot and crisp.
How to Serve and Store Roasted Brussels Sprouts
These crispy Brussels sprouts are best served fresh out of the oven when they’re still piping hot and crunchy. This recipe serves 4 as a side dish.
If you have leftovers, let them cool completely before transferring to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them back in the oven or air fryer for a few minutes to restore crispiness.
