Oven Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Something magical happens to brussels sprouts when they are roasted at a high temperature.

They become caramelized and completely irresistible.

I could eat roasted brussel sprouts straight from the oven, but when topped with a Sweet and Spicy Balsamic Glaze, brussels sprouts become IRRESISTIBLE!

Preparing Brussels Sprouts

Before you roast your brussels sprouts, you must prepare them correctly.

First things first, start with FRESH Brussels Sprouts. 

You can purchase brussels sprouts in a bag in your produce section or on a long stalk, from which dozens of brussels sprouts offshoot from.

How to Clean Brussels Sprouts

• Rinse well in cold water.
• Remove any blemished outer leaves as well.
• Dry well in colander or on paper towels.

How to Trim Brussels Sprouts

• If your brussels sprouts are on a large stalk, first cut the tiny sprouts off the main stalk.
• Cut off the thick tip of the stem.
• Slice brussels sprouts in half.

How to Roast Brussels Sprouts

Roasting brussel sprouts is what gives them an incredible, caramelized flavor. And this simple method for roasting brussels sprouts will quickly become your new go-to method for preparing this vegetable.

• Toss prepared brussels sprouts with olive oil and salt and pepper/
• Spread brussels sprouts evenly out onto a large sheet pan.
  • Be very careful to not overcrowd your pan. It is better to use 2 sheet pans, than to have brussels sprouts crowded on one pan. That would result in steamed brussel sprouts that are not able to caramelize fully.
• Roast at high temperature, flipping half-way through baking, until golden brown.

Balsamic Brussels Sprouts

Roasted Brussels Sprouts are delicious served straight from the oven.

But if you really want to make a stand out side dish, top your brussels sprouts with a Balsamic Glaze.

Balsamic Glaze

• Balsamic Vinegar
• Honey
• Sriracha

To make a balanced balsamic glaze, you must have sweet and heat. A little bit of honey and a little bit of hot sauce go a long way to adding great dimension to this easy Brussels Sprouts Recipe.

Tips for the Oven Roasted Brussels Sprouts

• For Paleo or Vegan Brussels Sprouts, use maple syrup in place of the honey in the balsamic glaze.
• For extra crispy Brussels Sprouts, preheat your sheet pan while preparing your brussels sprouts. This will help to char the leaves, while keeping the flesh tender.
• Omit the Sriracha from the Balsamic glaze if you heat is not your thing, or use your favorite hot sauce in it’s place.
• Roasted Brussel Sprouts will keep safely in the fridge for 4-5 days.
• To reheat Brussels Sprouts, broil under broiler for 2-4 minutes, depending on strength of your broiler.
