Why People Love This Recipe

There are so many reasons why people would love this oven-roasted Brussels sprouts recipe! For starters, it’s incredibly easy to make using just a baking sheet, some olive oil, and a few simple seasonings like salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Plus, it only takes 20-30 minutes to roast these delicious veggies to perfection, making them a quick and convenient side dish for any meal.

Tips For Easy Roasted Brussel Sprouts

  1. Choose fresh Brussels sprouts: For the best flavor and texture, choose fresh Brussels sprouts that are bright green and firm to the touch.
  2. Trim and halve the Brussels sprouts: Trim off the tough stems and remove any yellowed or damaged outer leaves. Then, cut the Brussels sprouts in half through the stem to create even-sized pieces.
  3. Use a large bowl: Toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and balsamic vinegar in a large bowl. This ensures that each sprout is evenly coated with the seasoning.
  4. Spread the Brussels sprouts out in a single layer: Spread the seasoned Brussels sprouts out in a single layer on a baking sheet. This helps to ensure that they roast evenly and become crispy on the outside.
  5. Roast at a high temperature: Roast the Brussels sprouts at a high temperature (around 425-450°F) for about 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. This high heat will help to caramelize the sprouts and give them a nice crispy exterior.
  6. Check for doneness: When the Brussels sprouts are done, they should be tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. Use a fork to test their tenderness and adjust the cooking time as needed.
  7. Serve hot: These roasted Brussels sprouts are best served hot, straight out of the oven. Garnish with a sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese and fresh herbs, if desired, for an extra burst of flavor.

Commonly Asked Questions

Can I use frozen Brussels sprouts for this recipe?

How do I know when the Brussels sprouts are done roasting?

Can I roast other vegetables with the Brussels sprouts?

Yes, you can roast other vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, or onions along with the Brussels sprouts if you like.
