Don’t get me wrong, I love all the Brussels sprout recipes I’ve posted on here, but I always just keep going back to this simple recipe because it’s so good! When it comes to roasting vegetables you really only need a little olive oil, salt and pepper.
The act of roasting them brings out such amazing flavor and they’re perfect when they’re brown and caramelized. After I make these I always find myself standing by the Brussels sprout tray and eating them like candy. They’re seriously that good!
Roasted Brussels sprouts make a really great side dish, they’re what I serve at Thanksgiving and Christmas, but they’re great for so many other things too.

I know some of you are still having warm temperatures and might not quite be ready for fall foods, but we just moved and the weather is in the 70s here so I’m going all in! Back in Arizona it’s still about 100 degrees so I’m taking full advantage of the cooler temps were getting now 🙂
Tips for the best roasted Brussels sprouts:
- Make sure all Brussels sprouts are similar sizes. This way they will all cook evenly and you won’t have some that are brown and others that need more time.
- If my Brussels sprouts are extra large I like to cut them in fourths so they cook faster, but it’s up to you.
- You’ll find that some of the outer leaves aren’t always the freshest looking but you should only have to pull off a few leaves to get a perfect Brussels sprout.
- I like to cut off some of the stem because it can be tough but you can leave as much as you want.
- One of the keys to delicious roasted vegetables is using a good quality olive oil!
Are you all excited about fall foods? I’d love to hear from you if you have any recipes you’d love to see me post this fall! I’m working on a list right now and can’t wait to get busy on them 🙂
