This roasted Brussels sprouts recipe offers a simple yet flavorful way to enjoy tender, caramelized vegetables. The method involves steaming the sprouts initially to ensure tenderness, followed by high-temperature roasting to develop a deep golden-brown crust. Perfect as a side dish, these Brussels sprouts are seasoned with olive oil, salt, and pepper for classic, savory goodness.

Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 2 pounds Brussels sprouts (1 to 1 ½ inches long)

Seasonings & Oils

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Place the oven rack in the upper-middle position and preheat the oven to 500ºF (260ºC) to ensure a hot environment for roasting.
  2. Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: Trim the stems off the Brussels sprouts. Slice each sprout in half lengthwise. Keep smaller sprouts (less than 1 inch) whole, and quarter larger sprouts exceeding 2 ½ inches to ensure even cooking.
  3. Season: In a large bowl, toss the prepared Brussels sprouts with olive oil, water, kosher salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Steam: Arrange the sprouts cut-side down on a large rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. Tightly cover the baking sheet with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes to steam and soften.
  5. Roast: Remove the foil from the baking sheet. Continue to roast the Brussels sprouts in the oven for 9 to 12 minutes or until they develop a deep golden-brown color and become tender. The timing varies based on sprout size.
  6. To Serve: Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve the roasted Brussels sprouts warm as a delicious side dish.

Notes

  • Cut Brussels sprouts into even sizes to ensure uniform cooking.
  • Steaming under foil helps soften the sprouts before roasting, preventing dryness.
  • Use high heat to achieve a caramelized, crispy exterior with tender interiors.
  • Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
  • Optional additions: sprinkle with Parmesan cheese or finish with a squeeze of lemon juice for extra zest.
