Crunchy Brussels Sprouts Ingredients

For crunchy Brussels sprouts you will need Brussels sprouts, olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, parsley, salt and black pepper.

How Do You Make Crunchy Brussels Sprouts?

The trick to this Brussels sprouts recipe is to preheat your sheet pan or baking sheet in the oven so that the sprouts start to sear as soon as they hit the pan. Place the halved sprouts in a bowl along with salt, pepper, olive oil, garlic and Italian seasoning. Arrange the sprouts in a single layer, cut side down, on a sheet pan. Place the pan in the oven, then roast until the Brussels sprouts are deep golden brown. Add a sprinkle of parsley, then serve along with lemon wedges.

Tips For The Reliable Dish

• This dish works finest with fresh sprouts. Frozen sprouts will release a lot of water and may not crisp up in the oven.
• If you don’t have any Italian seasoning or you want to make your own, check out my Italian seasoning recipe.
• You can serve your sprouts as-is, or offer them up with a dip on the side such as kitchen-made ranch dip, veggie dip or silky pesto dip.
• I find that this dish is finest when served immediately, as the sprouts will soften as they sit.
• Leftovers will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat any leftovers in a hot oven to regain that crunchy texture.

Quick Tip

Look for sprouts that are similar in size and shape so that they cook at the same rate.

Flavor Variations

While this dish is great as-is, you can change up the ingredients to create other flavors to customize the recipe to your tastes.

• Bacon: Add 4 slices of diced raw bacon to the sheet pan along with the sprouts.
• Vegetables: Feel free to add other veggies such as red onion, zucchini, sliced carrots, green beans or mushrooms.
• Herbs: Swap out the fresh parsley for basil, dill, thyme or chives.
• Lemon: Try a squeeze of lemon juice over the cooked sprouts for a bright and fresh flavor!
• Cheese: Add a sprinkle of cheese at the end of the cook time. Some of my go-to options include Parmesan cheese or aged white cheddar.

This dish is reliable when paired with a variety of meats such as grilled steak, roasted chicken or pork tenderloin. It’s also a nice side to seafood including broiled salmon fillets or garlic butter shrimp. You simply can’t go wrong with crunchy Brussels sprouts!
