Try this amazing Roasted Brussel Sprouts recipe! The secret? Roast them in the oven with just the right amount of spice, a blend of butter and oil, and breadcrumbs or panko!

These would be the perfect side to thisCrockpot Turkey Breast,Short Ribs,or Shepherd’s Pie.

The Best Roasted Brussel Sprouts Recipe

This shredded Brussels sprout salad has become super popular, going viral on TikTok. It’s given Brussels sprouts a new reputation, and I’m here to tell you I’ve always been the biggest fan, especially since I first created these roasted Brussels sprouts.

Brussels sprouts can be a love-it-or-hate-it veggie, but when roasted just right, they’re a game changer! Think crispy outside, tender inside, with a sweet, nutty flavor. Try this recipe to see for yourself. The key? Getting that perfect crispiness, so no more soggy or smelly sprouts. These sprouts go great with sideslike Mashed Potatoes, Wild Rice Salad, and Thanksgiving Dressing.

QUICK TIP

Pick Brussels sprouts that are bright green and feel solid. They should all be about the same size to cook evenly. Don’t choose ones with wilted or yellow leaves.

IngredientsIn Roasted Brussel Sprouts

Brussels sprouts: Cut them in half and remove the ends so they cook evenly and get crispy and delicious all over. When buying, remember that smaller Brussels sprouts are sweeter, while larger ones have a milder, more cabbage-like flavor.
Olive oil & butter: These make the sprouts cook nicely and taste good. They also help the crumbs and cheese stick to the sprouts. Coat the sprouts well so they turn crispy.
Seasonings:These seasonings add depth and enhance the natural flavor of the Brussels sprouts. Season evenly to ensure every bite is flavorful.
Panko & Parmesan Cheese: These make the outside crunchy and cheesy. Cook until they are golden and crunchy.

How To Roast Brussel Sprouts?

Roasting Brussels Sprouts is easier than you might imagine. Here’s what you need to do:

Heat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Direct, high oven heat gives it a crispy exterior. Clean the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half.
In a bowl, toss the sprouts with olive oil, melted butter, salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Make sure each piece is covered well so it gets really tasty and crispy.
Mix in the Panko and some of the Parmesan cheese. This will give a nice cheesy crust, so coat them evenly.
Spread the sprouts on a baking sheet in one layer. Bake for 18-23 minutes until they’re brown and crispy. Don’t let them touch too much, so they all get evenly crispy.
Take them out of the oven and sprinkle the rest of the Parmesan on top. Adding cheese at the end adds more flavor and melts perfectly.

How To Achieve Crispy Perfection

Space out the sprouts: When roasting Brussels sprouts, spread them out on the baking sheet. This prevents them from steaming and helps them get crispy.
Embrace the brown: Let the Brussels sprouts brown in the oven. This browning adds a delicious crunch. Cook them until they’re tender inside and nicely colored outside.
Brussel sprout size: Size matters for even cooking, so ensure all Brussels sprouts are roughly the same size. Cut larger ones to match smaller ones, which may mean halving or quartering them.
Panko and Parmesan Coating: Adds an additional layer of crunch and flavor in these roasted Brussel sprouts.

Oven Roasted Brussel Sprouts Recipe Variations

Balsamic Vinegar: Drizzle with balsamic vinegar or a balsamic reduction.
Brussel Sprouts With Bacon: Follow my delicious recipe for brussel sprouts with bacon. Or you can roast the sprouts and then add chopped bacon at the end.
Honey Mustard: Drizzle this honey mustard sauce over your roasted brussel sprouts right out of the oven.
Lemon Parmesan: Add freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a squeeze of lemon juice after roasting for a zesty kick.

STORAGE

Storage Tips

Store cooked Brussels sprouts in the fridge in a sealed container for up to 4 days; reheat in the oven at 350°F for best results.
I don’t recommend freezing roasted Brussels sprouts as they can become soft; however, if necessary, they can be frozen for up to 2 months, thawed in the fridge, and then reheated.

Roasted Brussel Sprouts FAQs

Why Are My Roasted Brussel Sprouts Not Crispy?

Your Brussels sprouts might not be crispy if they’re too close together on the pan, don’t have enough oil, or aren’t roasted hot enough.
This recipe gets them crispy by using enough olive oil and butter, adding Panko for crunch, and cutting the sprouts in half for even cooking.

Can Roasted Brussels Sprouts Be Made In Advance?

They taste best fresh and warm, so don’t cook them early. But you can prep (wash, trim, halve) the sprouts a day ahead and keep them in an airtight container in the fridge.

Should You Cut Brussel Sprouts In Half Before Roasting?

Yes, halving Brussels sprouts before roasting cooks them evenly and faster, makes them crispier outside and tender inside, improving their texture and taste.

Ingredients

▢ 1.5 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
▢ 2 tablespoons olive oil
▢ 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
▢ 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
▢ 1/4 teaspoon EACH: garlic powder, freshly cracked pepper
▢ 1/3 cup Panko (or breadcrumbs) See Note 1
▢ 1/3 cup + 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese, separated

Instructions

PREP: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
BRUSSELS PREP: Trim and halve the Brussels sprouts, then toss with olive oil, melted butter, salt, garlic powder, and pepper in a bowl. Ensure they're well-coated to help panko and Parmesan stick; add more oil if needed. Mix in panko and Parmesan, covering sprouts evenly.
SPREAD ON SHEET PAN: Spread the sprouts on a baking sheet without overlapping. It's fine if some panko/Parmesan falls off, but keep them mostly coated. Add more mixture if necessary.
BAKE: Bake for 18-23 minutes until the sprouts are browned and tender, and the cheese melts. Cooking time may vary. After baking, sprinkle with remaining Parmesan and, if desired, some toasted Panko from the tray.

Recipe Notes

Note 1: Panko adds crunch to the sprouts, though breadcrumbs can be used or omitted. Find Panko in the Japanese section or near breadcrumbs in stores.

I love roasted Brussels sprouts (or steamed, or shredded in stir fry, and so on). Last Holiday season I had a recipe that coated the sprouts in a little bacon grease. They were good but I’m betting these are healthier AND tasty. Thanks.

I never roasted Brussels sprouts before and looked at at least 3 different recipes. I liked the ingredients for this one (not too many, not too few, easily available, rationale for using, etc.) and tried it today. Wonderful!! I only bought 1/2 the amount of Brussels sprouts that the recipe called for (only serving 2 people), and cut down the measurements accordingly. Really delicious. Thank you for sharing this very tasty and easy recipe. Love it!

How could I adapt this recipe to use frozen brussel sprouts?
Reply
1. I wouldn’t recommend frozen; they won’t turn out quite right. If you do use frozen though, I’d let them thaw and dry thoroughly before proceeding with the recipe. Enjoy!
  Reply
Can this work with frozen sprouts?
Reply
1. I wouldn’t recommend frozen sprouts for this recipe; they don’t get nearly as crisp!
  Reply
  1. I used frozen ones. I just let them thaw out good first. I’m sure fresh are better but they’re super expensive wherr I live verses a $1 a bag for frozen. So their not bad frozen:)

    1. Awesome! Thanks Brandy!

I didn’t think I liked brussel sprouts until I had them roasted. This looks delicious, I can’t wait to try it! Will they cook the same if I line my cookie sheet with Parchment paper?

Tried making brussel sprouts for the first time (having only ever eaten them once before) using this simple recipe. It tasted delicious! Accidental Pro tip: Goes really well with salmon and some crispy seared lemon slices. Next time I’ll try adding bits of bacon. Thanks for the recipe!

I’ve made this recipe a few times and each time, I jazz it up even more. But one thing I noticed 18 minutes is almost too long to roast the sprouts. They became mushy past this point. Maybe it’s just my oven, but check them earlier than the time given so you can judge the tenderness according to your preference. So I check the sprouts at about 13-14 minutes and then broil them for about another 2-2.5 minutes and they came out great.
Reply
1. This is great advice! Every oven cooks a little differently and it’s definitely smart to check them early! Thanks! 🙂
