Roasted Brussels Sprouts: The Ultimate Recipe for a Flavorful Side Dish

Brussels sprouts often get a bad rap — but when roasted to perfection, they transform into a crispy, caramelized, and utterly delicious side dish that can win over even the most skeptical eaters. Roasting Brussels sprouts brings out their natural sweetness and adds a delightful crunch that makes them a favorite on dinner tables year-round.

Whether you’re serving them alongside a hearty roast, tossing them into a salad, or enjoying them as a healthy snack, this simple roasting method guarantees flavorful results every time. Here’s how to make roasted Brussels sprouts that are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with savory goodness.


🌱 Why Roast Brussels Sprouts?

  • Roasting enhances their natural sugars, giving a sweet, nutty flavor
  • Crispy edges and tender centers create the perfect texture contrast
  • Easy and quick to prepare with minimal ingredients
  • Highly nutritious — packed with vitamins C, K, fiber, and antioxidants
  • Versatile side that complements almost any main dish

🥘 Ingredients

  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 2–3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional add-ins:
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar or lemon juice (for brightness)
    • Red pepper flakes for heat
    • Grated Parmesan cheese for a savory finish

🔥 How to Roast Brussels Sprouts

1. Preheat the Oven

Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) — the high heat helps create that perfect crisp.

2. Prep the Brussels Sprouts

Trim the ends, remove any yellow or damaged leaves, and cut them in half lengthwise. This exposes the cut sides to the heat for better caramelization.

3. Toss with Oil and Seasoning

In a bowl, toss the sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add minced garlic or red pepper flakes if using.
