    Delicious! I would eat these every day! - Julie

    No steamed Brussel sprouts allowed! Brussels sprouts have long been misunderstood and underappreciated, but today, we're here to change that. When roasted and prepared just right, these vibrant green gems can be the star of your dinner table. The crispy exterior, umami richness, and nuanced hints of nuttiness, garlic, and mild cheesiness (if you opt for nutritional yeast) make these the absolutely Perfect Roasted Brussels Sprouts!

    The Brussels Sprouts Makeover

    Sweet Deliciousness: Roasting Brussels sprouts is the secret to unlocking their full flavor potential. When you roast them, the natural sugars in them caramelize (that's the brown goodness you see). This means they taste sweeter and more delicious. Crispy Goodness: Roasting Brussels sprouts at a high temperature transforms them into crispy, golden-brown bites. Each sprout becomes a tiny flavor bomb. Nutrient-Rich: These green beauties are loaded with vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants. So, not only are you enjoying a delicious side dish, but you're also doing your body a favor. Versatility: Roasted Brussels sprouts are incredibly versatile. They are the perfect side dish to almost any meal, and are one of my favorite ways to get some cruciferous veg into my diet! Spread the brussel sprouts across a large baking sheet. Season, toss, and bake!

    How to Make the Perfect Roasted Brussel Sprouts:

    Preheat oven to 425°F (220℃). Spread the halved Brussels sprouts across a large baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil over the sprouts, and then sprinkle over the nutritional yeast (if using), garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss well so that the sprouts are evenly coated in the oil and seasonings. Spread the Brussels sprouts evenly across the pan in a single layer with ample space around each sprout so that they can get crispy. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes, stopping to stir halfway through. They will be done when they are fork tender, and are browned in areas. (They will look almost burnt in some areas, but will taste AMAZING)!

      These are great, Sam! I may place the sprouts in a bowl to mix with the oil and seasonings before placing on the baking sheet and then spray the sheet. But they seem to be evenly enough coated, and with today being Thanksgiving, appreciated the shortcut! Very tasty addition to my vegan Thanksgiving table!

      The easiest best recipe and suddenly we love brussel sprouts. I put a sprinkle of nutmeg on them.

      Would these turn out well if done from frozen defrosted brussel sprouts?

        Yes, but they will likely be a little softer and you may need to adjust the cooking time.

          Sam thanks for taking the time to answer me. I had gone ahead and made it with my frozen ones and you were so right, I won't be doing them that way again. They were OK but would be much different and better from fresh.

      JFC, could you pick the correct spelling of Brussels sprouts and stick with it?!

        Believe it or not, I did that intentionally for SEO purposes because more people search for the incorrect spelling than they do the correct one. 😉
