I’m not going to lie, cooking brussels sprouts always kind of made me nervous. Don’t get me wrong– I LOVE brussels sprouts, especially roasted brussels sprouts, but I never knew how to cook them. I didn’t grow-up eating brussels sprouts, and I haven’t even had much experience eating them, but tonight was the night to give roasting them in the oven a whirl!
How to:
- Start with approximately 9 oz of raw brussels sprouts.
- Preheat oven to 400*F.
- Cut brussels sprouts in half.
- Add 1 tbsp of olive oil and salt and pepper to taste to brussels sprouts.
- Mix all together, coating brussels sprouts well with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Place brussels sprouts halves on baking pan.
- Roast in oven for about 20 minutes, until golden brown. Flip brussels sprouts halfway through cooking.
- Allow to cool and enjoy!
My brussels sprouts came out excellent! They had lots of flavor and were perfectly roasted– not too crunchy, not too mushy. Perfect-o!

These are awesome! I love roasting veggies and brussels are one of my faves. Have a good night!
I love brussels! I think they’re best roasted! Yours look beautiful!
Thats exactly how I make mine, but I add a tsp. of real maple syrup! Compliments the salt nicely
Delicious! Roasted brussels are my favorite, even if that makes me a goofy vegetable nerd! hehe.
Loooove brussles sprouts!!
Roasted brussels sprouts are some of my favorite veggies EVER!
I think I will try that – it’s been forever since I tried brussel sprouts, and I really need to give them another chance.
love roasted brussel sprouts. I used to microwave them for 2 min before throwing to the oven, it burns less often
wait a minute….i just made these right now!!!!
hahaha
I have been dying to try these! I will be making them soon
Roasted brussel sprouts are my absolute favorite food!!
Roasted brussels sprouts are on my top 10 list! They’re so easy and delicious!
Love me some brussels! Try adding some maple, so perfect against the salty/bitter background of the little cabbage heads
I love roasted brussels sprouts! I’m having some tonight in fact – we roasted them in the pan along with a chicken so they absorbed some of the chicken goodness. Yum!
Another one of my favorite ways to make them is to toss them in coconut oil and curry powder before roasting – it’s an unexpected flavor combo with brussels but it’s really delicious!
i had brussel sprouts for the first time on thanksgiving…they were ok…i think i need to try them again the way you made them!
Brussel sprouts are one of our favorites. My husband refers to them at the world’s most underrated vegetable.
This is exactly how I make them except I always forget to flip ‘em halfway through! Do you ever notice sometimes brussel sprouts can take on a mustard-y taste, or is that just me? Sometimes I drizzle a little maple syrup on them, too
Can anyone please tell me how to get rid of the BITTERNESS in brussel sprouts … like pleaseeeee
I love brussel sprouts!! Try them with a little parmesan cheese on top next time – it’s amazing!
mmm roasted brussel sprouts have become one of my FAVORITE veggies this year. Another great way to prepare them is to pull of all the leaves (sort of time consuming but SO good) and saute with a little olive oil, s&p, lemon juice. Add pistachios partway through so they get nice and toasty. It’s really good!
I discovered roasted brussel sprouts a few years ago and have been in love ever since. I like to squeeze lemon on them right out of the oven. Or sometimes I will toss them with a little dijon mustard and rice wine vinegar. YUM!
These are my favorite!!!! yum!! Fresh is so much better than the frozen ones that area all soggy and weird!!
I’ve always been a little tentative about trying them too! Thanks for the wee tutorial – I’m going to have to investigate this a little more now!
I tried these today and they were great! Thanks so much for the great recipe and tips. I hope you had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
I made brussel sprouts for the first time last night, and they were a total fail! I knew I could search your sight and find a “how to!” Thanks!
Yay! Thank you!
After seeing your delicious looking brussel sprouts on many posts, I finally decided to give it a whirl. Verdict? YUMMY! My local grocer better start stocking up, because I feel a brussel sprout run coming
