Roasted Brussels sprouts can be enjoyed with so many main courses! Try them with my Lemon Pepper Chicken or this Ground Beef Stroganoff recipe.

I love Brussels sprouts pretty much any way I can get them, and roasted is no exception. 

How to trim Brussels sprouts:

Pull/snap off any dry, damaged outer leaves, and then trim/cut the browned part off the stem using a knife.

What temperature and for how long to roast Brussels sprouts?

For this recipe, I roast them at 425F for 18-20 minutes. You can go longer if you wish, but I do recommend checking them after 18 minutes since you can always pop them back in the oven for longer. You could also try 400F for 30-45 minutes depending on how browned and soft you like them (and how large they are). It's recommended to roast them at quite a high heat to get that nice caramelization. 

Recipe notes & tips:

• Brussels sprouts can vary in size a lot, so I recommend checking them early if they're on the small side (even before the 18 minutes is up), especially if you don't want them to get too browned.
• I like to position some of the Brussels sprouts face-down, and some face-up. You can do either/both. Face down will yield more browning. 
• Try not to crowd the Brussels sprouts too much so they crisp up nicely vs. steam.
• I use sea salt for most of my cooking, and it's especially delicious on these Brussels sprouts!
• If you want to add fresh minced/crushed garlic to this recipe, I recommend adding it about halfway through cooking so it doesn't burn. 
• This recipe is for fresh Brussels sprouts, but here's a good recipe for roasted frozen Brussels sprouts.
• I love these baking sheets.

Ingredients

 

• 1 pound Brussels sprouts trimmed and cut into halves
• 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven to 425F. Move the rack to the middle position. Line a baking sheet with foil for easy clean-up.
• Prep your Brussels sprouts by cutting the dried out stem/end bit off and discarding any discolored leaves. Cut each Brussels sprout in half and add them to your baking sheet.
• Pour the olive oil over the Brussels sprouts (start with 2 tablespoons and add more if needed) and generously season them with salt & pepper. Toss with your hands until evenly coated. Spread them out a bit so they're not touching too much.
• Roast for 18-20 minutes. I recommend checking after 18 minutes (or even a bit sooner if your Brussels sprouts are particularly small) to ensure that they're soft and browned to your liking without being too well done. I like mine to still have a little bit of chew. Roast them for longer if you want an even deeper browned flavor.

Notes

• Any loose Brussels sprouts leaves will crisp right up. I like to eat those... they're kinda like veggie chips! 
• You can for sure roast more than 1 pound of Brussels sprouts. Just make sure your baking sheet isn't too crowded.
