Roasted Garlic Brussels Sprouts
These Roasted Brussel Sprouts make the perfect side dish. They take only 30 minutes to make and come out caramelized on the outside and tender on the inside. The crispy pieces are the best! Brussels sprouts have a wonderfully nutty flavor which make them perfect for roasting. I like to cook my Brussels sprouts until tender but not mushy. This is a dish that even Brussels Sprout haters will love. Best of all you only need 6 ingredients to make these Roasted Brussels Sprouts!
These Brussels Sprouts would make an excellent side dish for your Thanksgiving meal or any time of the year! Here is what you’ll need to make them:
Ingredients
- Brussels Sprouts: They are super easy to prep simply cut the ends of the brussels sprouts and slice in half lengthwise.
- Garlic: I love using fresh garlic in this recipe! It gets crispy and caramelized from roasting in the oven. I like to slice the garlic in thin strips.
- Extra virgin olive oil: Any type of olive oil will work for roasting. Just make sure all the brussels sprouts are covered with a nice drizzle of olive oil. This ensures they will get golden brown and crisp.
- Lemon juice: Fresh squeezed lemon juice is best in this recipe. It adds acidity and a nice burst of lemon flavor!
- Grated Parmesan cheese: I love using good quality parmesan cheese. You can also substitute cheddar or gruyere cheese. If you are vegan omit the parmesan cheese and substitute nutritional yeast!
- Red pepper flakes: Are added for a little kick. If you don’t like too much spice omit the red pepper flakes.
How to Roast Brussels Sprouts
Roasting is the only way I like to prepare Brussels Sprouts. They turn out perfectly tender and carmazlied on the outside. They have so much flavor! To make these Roast Brussel Sprouts simply preheat your oven to 375 degrees toss the halved Brussels sprouts with extra virgin olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes or until tender. Take out of the oven and sprinkle with lemon juice, Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes for a little kick. Done!
Variations
- For a crunch add some pine nuts or walnuts
- Bacon would be amazing in this. While the brussels sprouts are cooking bake a couple slices of bacon. Crumble and serve on top!
- Thinly sliced shallots would be delicious roasted with the brussels sprouts.
- I love to serve these with Balsamic vinegar drizzled on top.
- Fresh thyme or rosemary would go perfectly with the roasted veggies.
