Description
These Roasted Brussels Sprouts are crisped to perfection with golden caramelized edges and a soft, tender center. A healthy, easy side dish that pairs well with just about anything—weeknight dinners or holiday meals alike. Simple ingredients, quick prep, and flavorful results.
Ingredients
1 ½ pounds Brussels sprouts
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
Optional: 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons shredded parmesan
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow or damaged leaves. Halve large ones for even cooking.
3. Place sprouts in a mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Add salt and black pepper, then toss to coat evenly.
4. Spread the sprouts on a baking sheet in a single layer, cut-side down. Avoid overcrowding.
5. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through. They should be crispy on the outside and fork-tender inside.
6. Optional: Finish with balsamic glaze, parmesan, or a squeeze of lemon juice for added flavor before serving.
Notes
Make sure your Brussels sprouts are completely dry before roasting to help them crisp up better.
For extra caramelization, roast directly on the pan without parchment paper.
Use smaller sprouts for a naturally sweeter and more tender bite.
