    Why You Should Try This Brussels Sprouts Recipe

    Roasted brussels sprouts are an excellent way to add the tiniest of the cruciferous crew to your dinner rotation. Made on the sheet pan, these crispy, garlicky wonders are absolutely packed with flavor and are easy enough to make on even a school night.

    Similar in flavor and appearance to cabbage (albeit itty bitty), brussels sprouts are just as versatile and just as healthy as their larger cousins. Whether you serve them raw or cooked, in a salad or a sauté, they're simply delicious.

    While this brussels sprouts recipe is super simple, it's also impressive enough to serve alongside your Thanksgiving turkey or holiday dinner spread. Since it's made on the sheet pan, clean up is a snap; I honestly couldn't ask for anything better from this delightful side dish!

    If you're feeling extra hungry or want to turn your brussels into a full-blown meal, simply toss them with cooked pasta. You can also add them into your favorite grain bowls, making them a great meal prep item.

    So what are you waiting for? Grab some fresh brussels sprouts and let's get to the kitchen!

    Ingredients

    This delicious roasted sprouts recipe requires fewer than 10 ingredients and just 10 minutes of prep work to get in the oven. Here's everything you'll need:

    ingredients for making spicy garlic roasted brussel sprouts measured out into bowls
    • Brussels Sprouts - This time of year, I generally reach for fresh brussels sprouts because they're in season. That said you can easily swap in frozen instead.
    • Garlic - Fresh cloves are best, but you can substitute ¼ teaspoon of garlic powder for each clove.
    • Parmesan - I adore the umami, nutty flavor of freshly grated parmesan cheese. Parmesan tastes delectable in roasted veggies (a few of my favorites are Rosemary Potatoes and Cauliflower Parmesan). If you are vegetarian, however, make sure you opt for a brand that does not use animal rennet.
    • Panko - Also known as Japanese breadcrumbs, these are always in my pantry. If you have to have just one kind of breadcrumbs on hand, these are all reasons to choose panko over other varieties. You can also easily make your own breadcrumbs using any stale bread you might have lying around.
    • Olive Oil - Extra virgin olive oil is preferred, but use whatever type you have on hand.
    • Red Pepper Flakes - These add just the right amount of heat without overwhelming the garlic. Feel free to adjust the amount based on your spice preferences.
    • Salt & Pepper - ALWAYS SEASON YOUR FOOD. It's the best cooking advice around!

    How To Roast Brussel Sprouts

    Pre-heat the oven at 425°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper. The parchment is optional, but will make clean up much easier and preserve the integrity of the brussels.

    In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients and toss well.

    Spread the oil and spice coated brussel sprouts on line sheet pan with cut side facing down. The panko will stick to the cut side, making the sprouts and chopped garlic more crisp and delicious after roasting.

    Roast for 15-18 minutes undisturbed, flip and roast again for another 6-8 minutes, or until golden and crisp.

    Dish out, making sure to sprinkle any extra parmesan-garlic crumbs from the sheet pan over top of the roasted brussel sprouts, and serve hot. Enjoy!

    FAQs

    Are these roasted sprouts healthy?

    While I always suggest that you speak to a licensed expert for any diet-related advice, the short answer is YES. Brussels sprouts are very nutritious, and just one serving of these tasty buddies boasts 7 grams of protein and less than 200 calories.

    Can I roast brussels sprouts from frozen?

    You sure can! Read how to roast sprouts from frozen, and you'll never be far from a delicious side.

    Why are my brussels sprouts mushy?

    Ooops! It sounds like you might've overcooked them. Next time, shave a few minutes off your cook time and check more frequently.

      The Brussels sprouts turned out perfectly crispy tender just like you said they would. I thought you had to serve them in a thick cheesy sauce before the family would enjoy them, but not so. The parmesan, garlic, and hot pepper flakes flavored them just right.
