Description
These roasted Brussels sprouts are simple, flavorful, and perfectly crispy on the outside while tender on the inside. Ready in just 30 minutes, they make a healthy and delicious side dish for any meal.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Brussels sprouts, ends trimmed and halved (quarter if very large)
- 2 medium garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400ºF (200ºC).
- Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half lengthwise. Quarter them if they’re very large.
- Place the Brussels sprouts on a large baking sheet. Add minced garlic, olive oil, and sea salt. Toss well to coat evenly.
- (Optional) Line the baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
- Roast for 15 minutes. Remove from oven, drizzle with balsamic vinegar (if using), and toss again.
- Using tongs, turn Brussels sprouts cut side down. Return to oven and roast for an additional 5–10 minutes, or until golden brown and tender.
- Remove from oven and serve warm as a side dish or appetizer.
Notes
- Turning the Brussels sprouts cut side down helps create a caramelized, golden-brown surface.
- You can skip the balsamic vinegar or replace it with lemon juice for a brighter flavor.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or air fryer.
- Add Parmesan cheese, crushed red pepper, or chopped nuts for extra flavor.
