This is the perfect recipe to make for anyone who is a Brussels sprouts skeptic. Roasted Brussels Sprouts are crispy and golden on the outside, tender and melt-in-your-mouth on the inside.

Oven Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Garlic Recipe

Every week when I take my daughter to the grocery store, I ask her to pick out at least one fruit for the week and one vegetable for the week. Even though I already have most of my meal plan set for the week, it’s important for me to encourage her to participate and have a say in what we eat as a family. I find that when she gets a say, she’s more excited to eat what’s on offer.

While she normally picks veggies that can be enjoyed raw with dip, she often chooses artichokes or Brussels sprouts for her veggie selection.

When she picks Brussels sprouts, it’s either because she wants this roasted, crispy Brussels sprouts recipe or our cheesy Brussels sprouts skillet.

When roasted, Brussels sprouts release a naturally sweet, caramelized flavor and lose their unappetizing bitterness. The outsides get crispy while the insides get soft and tender for a gorgeous textural contrast.

I’m a big believer that everyone (including kids) can enjoy eating their vegetables when they are prepared the right way.

The below roasted Brussels sprouts recipe is easy enough for a weeknight side dish but also perfect for the holidays. The simple additions of garlic, salt and pepper makes for a sweet, salty, nutty and caramelized Brussels sprouts recipe that is perfectly balanced flavorwise and texturally.

All cruciferous vegetables (cauliflower, broccoli, Brussel sprouts, etc) contain a sulfur-containing phytocehmical called glucosinolate, which is responsible for that sulphuric odor and bitter flavor that many of us associate with Brussel sprouts – and the reason why so many people dislike them! By roasting or pan searing them, you allow the natural sugars of the Brussel sprouts to become caramelized to counter the bitter flavor.

How to store roasted Brussels sprouts: I’m not a fan of storing leftover Brussels sprouts in the fridge as the bitter flavor will return, but they can be stored for up to 5 days. For the best texture, reheat in the oven at 375F or under the broiler until hot.

How long to roast Brussels sprouts: for the perfect balance of crispy edges, tender, melt-in-your-mouth insides and an amazing caramelized flavor, we roast these these Brussels sprouts for only 15-20 minutes.
