Roasted Brussels Sprouts

I love a roasted veggie, don’t you? Roasting brings out the earthy complex flavors of foods that can’t be duplicated any other way. Bonus: most kiddos will eat a roasted veggie over any other cooking method. < Not scientific, just my own personal observation.

When you roast Brussels sprouts, the outside takes on a crispy crunchy bite, while the inside is soft and creamy. Oh, momma!

Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Y’all know when I cook, I make enough for an army, so the following recipe can be halved for you normal folks. This recipe, as written, makes a generous side dish for any table.

Roasted Brussels Sprouts

(recipe adapted from: Green Wave Farms)

INGREDIENTS:

2 pounds Brussels sprouts

4 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp Kosher or Himalayan salt

1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper

DIRECTIONS:

In a large bowl, mix sprouts with olive oil, salt and pepper.

Line a large baking sheet (with a lip) with parchment paper, then pour sprouts on pan.

Roast for 40-45 minutes @400°.

Shake the pan every 20 minutes to brown evenly.

Here’s what I mean by a baking sheet with a lip:

When you go to shake your veggies to ensure proper browning, the lip prevents the sprouts from falling off the pan. Ain’t nobody got time for that!

End result = Brussels sprouts perfection!

Happy Roasting, Y’all!

Roasted Brussels Sprouts are just... Perfection in my mind... And mouth. However, ask me if I like brussels sprouts, oh 15 years ago and I would have laughed in your face!

I love Brussel sprouts, they are my favorite green vegetable. Your recipe seems to be easy to follow, I like adding just a little maple syrup to the finished product. Joe mydaddoes.com

OH thank you for this! I love brussels sprouts but they have to be done right and they can be tricky. You've made it simple and these look delicious.

when i'm in a hurry i just spray the brussels with olive oil spray and salt them right in the pan. ditto for broccoli and cauliflower. carrots and onions too. everything tastes better olive-oiled and roasted. thanks for the reminder.
