HOW TO MAKE ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS
STEP 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet or sheet pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Start with approximately 2 pounds of Brussels sprouts and remove outer leaves that are discolored. Quarter or halve them lengthwise (depending on how big they are).
After trimming and halving them, spread in an even layer on the prepared pan. Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the tops. Toss to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
STEP 2
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring the veggies once at the halfway point. Serve immediately!
RECIPE TIPS
Trim very small amounts from the stems before cooking if they are brown. Be careful not to trim too much so the sprout stays intact.
Replace the olive oil with coconut, vegetable or sesame oil for a different flavor.
Go crazy with herbs and spices, if you’d like! Italian seasoning, cumin, cayenne pepper, oregano or basil are great dried seasonings to sprinkle over the top. If you have fresh herbs on hand, basil, chives, parsley and thyme are all delicious when sprinkled over vegetables before roasting!
Add minced garlic to the pan for an extra boost of flavor OR a sprinkling of garlic powder!
Sprinkling Parmesan cheese (shaved or grated!) over the top before roasting adds a delicious touch.
Table salt tastes great on these, but consider sea or kosher salt for an even tastier end result.
Adding a few drizzles of balsamic vinegar to the pan before baking adds TONS of flavor.
Add chopped (uncooked) bacon for a meaty, even more delicious side.
HOW TO STORE LEFTOVER ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS
Store leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for 5-7 days.
CAN ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS BE FROZEN?
YES! Vegetables that have been roasted can definitely be frozen and used at a later date. Store in a sealed plastic freezer bag in a single layer (lie flat in the freezer) for up to 3 months. Allow them to thaw completely before reheating.
HOW TO REHEAT FROZEN BRUSSELS
Veggies that have been roasted and then frozen are super easy to heat back up after thawing. Either microwave them in batches, as needed, or place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 250 degrees F for 10 to 15 minutes, or until heated through.
