    Why We Love Roasted Brussels Sprouts

    • Simple preparation only takes minutes to get in the oven.
    • Only a few staple ingredients needed.
    • These sprouts are not mushy or soggy, they turn out perfectly crisp and caramelized on the outside and tender on the inside every time.
    • An easy recipe and perfect side dish that pairs well with any main dishes for any occasion.

    Roasted Brussels Sprouts Ingredients

    • Brussels Sprouts, cut in half
    • Olive Oil: I prefer to use extra virgin olive oil, but any neutral oil will work like avocado, canola or vegetable oils.
    • Salt: Feel free to use your favorite seasoning blend. Simple salt and pepper is my favorite, but you could also add some garlic powder, onion powder or a seasoning blend.
    • Black Pepper

    How to Make Oven Roasted Brussels Sprouts

    1. Trim any brown ends from the brussels sprouts, and pull off any yellow or discolored loose outer leaves.
    2. Slice the whole sprouts in half lengthwise and place in a zip top bag or large bowl.
    3. To the sprouts, add the olive oil, salt and black pepper. Shake or toss to coat all the brussels sprouts evenly.

    Storing Sheet Pan Roasted Brussels Sprouts

    Storing: Keep any leftover roasted brussels sprouts in an airtight container in the fridge up to 4 days.

    Reheating: Roasted brussels sprouts can be reheated in a 400°F oven until warmed through or in a hot skillet with just a touch of oil, this will help regain some of the crispness back. They can also be reheated in the microwave, but they will be a little soft and soggy.

    Tips for the Best Roasted Brussels Sprouts Recipe

    • Pick good brussels sprouts. They should be very green and firm with tight leaves. Don't pick sprouts that are soft with a lot of yellow and loose leaves.
    • Toss all the sprouts in a bag or bowl with olive oil and not directly on the pan. Combining all the ingredients beforehand ensures that all the sprouts are evenly coated with olive oil, salt and black pepper.
    • Don't overcrowd the pan. Brussels sprouts should be in a single layer without too much touching, so they'll roast and not steam.
    • Use parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy clean up.

    FAQs

    Why are my brussels sprouts soggy?

    Brussels Sprouts can become soggy if they are overcooked or steamed. To prevent them from steaming while your roasting, don't overcrowd the pan. Give the sprouts plenty of room on the sheet pan so the air can circulate around them and make them nice and crisp.

    Why are my roasted brussels sprouts not crispy?

    To ensure you get nice and crispy roasted brussels sprouts first make sure the oven is at a high heat. Don't put them in a cold oven. Also, don't overcrowd the pan. This will cause steaming and create soggy brussels sprouts. Lastly, don't overcook the sprouts. Overcooking them will make the outside bitter and the inside mushy.

    Do you cut the bottom of Brussels Sprouts?

    Most of the time, yes. The brown woody end needs to be trimmed along with any yellow or discolored loose leaves. However, if you buy sprouts already washed and trimmed you'll save yourself some prep time.

    Should brussels sprouts be cut in half before roasting?

    Cutting the brussels sprouts in half will give them more crisp edges, and will also allow them to cook faster. If the sprouts are all different sizes, cutting the larger ones in half will help with uniform cooking. I recommend cutting sprouts in half because they develop more caramelization.

    How long to roast brussels sprouts at 400?

    Cooking time will depend on the size of the sprouts and how small you cut them. Most brussels sprouts, cut in half, will take about 25-35 minutes in a 400°F oven.
