Description
These crispy oven roasted Brussels sprouts come out perfectly crispy every time with golden edges and tender centers. Seasoned simply with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper, this recipe turns a humble vegetable into the ultimate crispy veggie side that’s quick, easy, and crowd-pleasing.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds fresh Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan (optional)
- 1 teaspoon balsamic glaze or lemon juice, for finishing
Instructions
- Prep the Sprouts: Rinse, trim, and slice Brussels sprouts in half. Pat dry thoroughly to remove excess moisture.
- Toss with Oil and Seasoning: In a large bowl, combine sprouts, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Arrange on Pan: Spread sprouts cut-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between pieces.
- Roast Until Crispy: Bake at 425°F for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until edges are golden-brown and crisp.
- Finish and Serve: Remove from oven, sprinkle with Parmesan or drizzle with balsamic glaze/lemon juice. Serve hot as a crispy veggie side.
Notes
Drying the Brussels sprouts well before roasting is the key to crispiness. For extra crunch, roast the loose outer leaves alongside the halved sprouts—they turn into sprout chips! If doubling the recipe, use two baking sheets to avoid overcrowding.
