Roasted Brussel Sprouts Recipe
The Roasted Brussel Sprouts Recipe is a healthy, vegetarian side dish baked in the oven with garlic and balsamic for an easy, flavorful addition to any meal.
Ingredients
- 1½ pounds Brussel sprouts trimmed and halved (choose firm, bright green heads)
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil I love California Olive Ranch brand
- 2 cloves garlic minced (use fresh for best flavor)
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar Bragg’s or Colavita
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt Diamond Crystal if you’ve got it
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Optional garnish: shaved Parmesan or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 °F (205 °C). Make sure your rack is in the center third—this gives even heat circulation.
- Toss the trimmed and halved Brussel sprouts in a large bowl with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper until every bit is lightly coated.
- Spread the sprouts cut-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet or silicone mat.
- Roast for 20 minutes, then check for golden-brown edges. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and continue roasting until caramelized.
- Remove from the oven, sprinkle optional Parmesan or red pepper flakes if using, and transfer to a serving dish. Let them rest for a couple minutes before serving.
Notes
You know what? The first few times I tried roasting Brussel sprouts, they came out mushy. Watch them closely for the perfect texture.
