Roasted Brussel Sprouts
Roasted Brussel Sprouts come out browned and tender if you halve them and cook them cut side down on a sheet pan. And I love that you can modify this roasted Brussels sprouts recipe so many different ways. Sometimes, I add lemon and parmesan or a drizzle of balsamic glaze for subtle sweetness and tang. For more flavor, add a little bacon or pancetta. It’s the perfect side dish for filet mignon, roasted chicken, air fryer whole chicken, chicken breast and more.

Serving Suggestions

Storage
- Refrigerate: Roasted Brussels sprouts are best eaten hot out of the oven, but they will last up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
- Reheat them in the oven or air fryer for crispy Brussels sprouts. You can also microwave them, but they will get soggy.
- Leftovers are a great addition to any grain bowl.
FAQ
Nope! You can roast raw Brussels sprouts. There’s no need to boil them first.
Cutting them in half helps them cook more evenly and get browned and crispier.
Both ways work but I prefer to place the veggies cut side down on the baking sheet for perfectly browned brussels sprouts.
