This Roasted Brussels Sprouts recipe offers a simple and delicious way to prepare tender, caramelized Brussels sprouts with a perfect balance of savory and optional sweet or citrus notes. With just a few ingredients and a quick roasting method, it’s an ideal side dish for weeknight dinners or special occasions.

Ingredients

Brussels Sprouts

  • 1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts

Seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Optional Garnishes

  • Lemon wedges
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: Rinse the Brussels sprouts under cold water to clean them. Trim the stem ends and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Cut the Brussels sprouts in half for even cooking.
  2. Toss with Oil and Seasoning: In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper to evenly coat.
  3. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. This promotes even roasting and caramelization.
  4. Roast in Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Roast the Brussels sprouts on the middle rack for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure they brown evenly on all sides.
  5. Optional Finishing Touches: Once roasted, remove from the oven and optionally toss with 1 tablespoon maple syrup for a sweet glaze or serve with fresh lemon wedges for a bright citrus flavor.
  6. Serve: Transfer the roasted Brussels sprouts to a serving dish and enjoy immediately while warm and crisp.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, ensure Brussels sprouts are dry before tossing with oil.
  • Adjust roasting time based on your oven and preferred level of caramelization.
  • Maple syrup adds a lovely sweetness but can be omitted for a more savory side dish.
  • Lemon wedges provide a fresh brightness enhancing the flavor.
  • You can add minced garlic or Parmesan cheese before roasting for variation.
