Roasted Brussels Sprouts Recipe
I know, not everyone’s favorite, but trust me – prepared this way these Brussels sprouts are delicious! Who remembers hating Brussels Sprouts as a kid?
Not any more!
Many skeptics have changed their mind about Brussels with this recipe. Roasting is an easy way to cook them while getting the rest of your dinner ready. The come out of the oven crisp, tender and ready to accompany just about any meal. I’ve even put them in a chicken and rice bowl…yum! We also eaten them with this yummy Tater Tot Casserole.
Sometimes for a little variety, we sprinkle them with a little balsamic vinegar when they’re finished cooking, which gives them a slightly different, but great flavor.
Bacon is a great add too!

Tips for Roasting Brussels Sprouts
This tasty vegetable side dish is good year round, but especially nice on a cold winter night when comfort food is in order. They also make a great starter when entertaining guests.
The part that takes the longest when preparing, but is so worth it, is the quartering of the Brussels. This give them more surface area to get nice and crisp while roasting in the oven.

I can’t wait to try this recipe. Yummy!
Had them again tonight, they were yummy!
I LOVE oven roasted brussel sprouts! I get the bag of shaved brussel sprouts from Target and my favorites are the tiny pieces that crisp up! Better than potato chips!!
I agree, the tiny crisp bits are the best 🙂
I love Brussels sprouts and I am always looking for new ways to fix them. I’ve never roasted them myself, but I’ve had them and they are delicious. Think I’ll try roasting the ones in my fridge this week! 🙂
BTW, I’ve been looking around your site and really like your posts. I just bought the materials to do a burlap wreath this week. I’ve never made one, so we will see how it goes! I co-host #ThePinterestGame each week, and we would love to have you join us with pins for some of your posts! If you are interested, I’ll send you the link! 🙂 Love your style!
Roasting them is an easy way to bring out their best flavor. We roasted some Brussels with some bacon last night…delish!
Thanks for taking a look around the site! Would love to join in for some Pinterest fun! I’ll email you for the link! Erin
Erin, I love Brussels sprouts prepared this way! I used to always like them and used to steam them with onions and lemon zest. They were OK. Come to find out, boiling or steaming them KILLS them! Roasting is the best way to prepare them, it sure brings out a delicious flavor.
I serve them with garlic aioli on the side. Just dip and eat! Yum!
I am loving your blog 🙂
Best XO
Thanks for stopping by, Flavia! I love them too! I can I can imagine steaming them would keep the flavor! I’m going to try a little garlic aioli…yum!
I’ve never cared for brussel sprouts, but everything seems to alway be better when roasted. Pinned so I can try sometime.
Thanks for the pin. I promise they taste nothing like the ones I grew up with! I literally eat them several times a week. We buy the big bag at Costco and have plenty!
Erin – I LOVE Brussel sprouts – sadly I am the only one in my family that does, I roast them to with bacon!!! of course and also some balsamic vinegar and garlic – but I love onions so I am gonna try that too. I am your neighbor at #WayWow
I used to be the only one who liked them. Now the hubby loves them and so do (most) of the kids. I have one guy that doesn’t like anything green! He’ll only eat raw spinach, so I stick with that for him 🙂 Try the onions and let me know!
We made these a few days ago! I loved them. So did the family. Brussels sprouts take on a different flavor when roasted, we did them with Chicago Steak Seasoning, no onion or bacon needed. But we’re going to try bacon next time, lol, bacon makes everything just a bit better, doesn’t it?
These look great! I love roasted Brussels sprouts.
They’re so healthy and yummy! I’m glad you love them too! Thanks for popping by! Have a great day, Emily!
I love brussel sprouts and this looks amazing!
Thanks, Denise! They are one of my favorite veggies right now. We make them several times a week. Such great flavor.
pinning! my sister used to make these and I thought they were amazing but I never grabbed the recipe from her.
You definitely have to try this recipe, Sarah. I think it makes them so tasty…I usually have a whole heaping for dinner 🙂
there is no oven temperature listed in this recipe. it is missing from the preheat oven instructions.
That’s not very helpful! Good Catch 😉 I updated the recipe to reflect the oven temp of 425 degrees. Thanks for letting me know!
Pinning this, my husbands favourite veg is sprouts. I normally steam them but I’m going to roast them this Sunday along with the family joint. Thanks.
Roasting adds a whole new dimension! I think they are just amazing, but I’ll be curious to see what your husband thinks! This is so easy, we make them a few times a week.
Brussels sprouts are DEFINITELY one of my least favorite foods in the world, haha. BUT, I do know how beneficial they are and, every so often I’ll try and cook some. It never turns out well, as I just can never seem to get that bitter taste out. I’ve never tried roasting them before though, so now I’m really excited to give this a shot. Thanks for sharing! <3
I have changed many minds about Brussels Sprouts with this recipe, Savannah, so give it a try. When they’re roasted, they get a rich flavor and I think the little crispy bits are the best! Give it a shot and let me know how it goes!
