Roasted Brussels Sprouts are perfectly crispy and loaded with flavor! They’re an easy side dish everyone will want seconds of.

These make the perfect side for Crockpot Turkey BreastShort Ribs, or Shepherd’s Pie.

Best Roasted Brussel Sprouts Recipe

This shredded Brussels sprout salad went viral on TikTok, giving Brussels sprouts a new reputation—but I’ve always been their biggest fan, and my love for them all started with this recipe.

Brussels sprouts can be a love-it-or-hate-it veggie, but roasting transforms them: crispy outside, tender inside, and packed with a sweet, nutty flavor. That perfect crispiness means no more soggy, smelly sprouts!

They’re fantastic with sides like Mashed Potatoes, Wild Rice Salad, and Thanksgiving Dressing.

Ingredients assembled for making roasted Brussels sprouts.

Ingredients In Roasted Brussel Sprouts

  • Brussels sprouts: Cutting them in half helps them cook evenly and get crispy.
  • Olive oil & butter: Toss well to coat every sprout; add a bit more if they seem dry.
  • Seasonings: These seasonings boost the natural flavor of the Brussels sprouts.
  • Panko: Panko is lighter and crispier than regular breadcrumbs, but either works.
  • Parmesan: Divide the cheese; add some before baking and sprinkle the rest on top afterward.

Quick Tip

Pick Brussels sprouts that are bright green and feel solid. They should all be about the same size to cook evenly. Don’t choose ones with wilted or yellow leaves.

How To Make Roasted Brussel Sprouts

  1. Prep: Heat the oven to 425°F. Trim and cut the Brussels sprouts in half.
  2. Coat: Mix sprouts with oil, butter, and seasonings. Add Panko and Parmesan and toss well.
  3. Bake: Spread sprouts on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake.
  4. Top: Sprinkle extra Parmesan and Panko on top if you’d like.

How To Achieve Crispy Perfection

  • Space them out: Spread the Brussels sprouts on the baking sheet to prevent steaming and to get them nice and crisp!
  • Embrace the brown: Cook until they’re soft inside and nicely colored outside.
  • Brussels sprout size: For even cooking, make all sprouts similar in size by halving or quartering larger ones.
  • Panko and Parmesan coating: This adds extra crunch and flavor to the roasted Brussels sprouts.

Variations

Switch Things Up

  • Balsamic Vinegar: Drizzle with balsamic vinegar or a balsamic reduction.
  • Brussel Sprouts With Bacon: Try these brussel sprouts with bacon or roast sprouts and add chopped bacon at the end.
  • Honey Mustard: Drizzle honey mustard sauce over your roasted brussel sprouts right out of the oven.
  • Lemon Parmesan: Add freshly grated Parmesan and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice after roasting for a zesty kick.

Storage

Leftover Roasted Brussel Sprouts?

Keep cooked Brussels sprouts in the fridge in a sealed container for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F.

Freezing isn’t ideal since sprouts can get soft, but if needed, freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge and reheat.

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Recipe Notes

Note 1: Panko adds extra crunch, but regular breadcrumbs work in a pinch. Look for panko in the Japanese or breadcrumb aisle.
Storage: Keep roasted Brussels sprouts in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. But they’re best served right out of the oven—super crispy and full of flavor!

    I love roasted Brussels sprouts (or steamed, or shredded in stir fry, and so on). Last Holiday season I had a recipe that coated the sprouts in a little bacon grease. They were good but I’m betting these are healthier AND tasty. Thanks.
