Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Oven Roasted Brussels Sprouts are an often maligned but delicious side dish. In the past five years Brussels Sprouts have been having a popularity renaissance since popular restaurants all over the country have turned them into popular appetizer recipes like our Tin Roof Brussels Sprouts copycat.

If you’re looking for a swap for Roasted Cabbage recipes, these Brussels Sprouts have a more kid friendly bite sized crispy texture.

How to Roast Brussels Sprouts:

Whole: If roasting whole, trim just the bottoms enough to cut off the browned portions. You can quite easily roast whole Brussels Sprouts when they’re on the smaller side, but whole larger ones should be steamed before roasting whole.

Halved/Quarters: This recipe calls for the Brussels Sprouts to be quartered before roasting. Perfect for roasting and just the right size for 1 bite, roasting them in halves is the most popular way to roast these delicious mini-cabbages. You can also cut them in half instead of in quarters depending on your preference. 

• When cutting you will lose outer leaves, which can either be discarded or roasted along side the rest of the vegetables. Be aware, loose leaves will brown quickly.

Slices: If you are looking to make a roasted slaw or salad you can slice these Brussels Sprouts and toss them with some oil before spreading them evenly over the sheet pan and roasting. This leads to a more crispy texture than the other two options above.

When roasting use a cookie sheet and a silicone spatula. If you use foil, you risk the Brussels Sprouts sticking to the foil and tearing no matter how much you grease the foil. Using a silicone spatula is preferable to plastic, having that bit of flexibility makes removing the veggies easier from the pan without tearing them. Those browned parts of the veggies are the best parts, you don’t want them left behind on your pan.
