EASY Roasted Brussels Sprouts Recipe

Oh my goodness I LOVE Brussels Sprouts. I always have, even as a kid.

This easy Roasted Brussels Sprouts recipe is one of my favorites and it’s so simple that I keep brussels sprouts on hand just so that I can make it as a last minute add when I’m short on ideas for dinner sides.

We eat these quite a bit in a summer, and I find that they go great with just about any meal.

Before we get started, let me ask one thing. Do you say it or spell it Brussel Spouts or Brussels Sprouts? So many people spell it wrong that I’ve often considered spelling it wrong in my recipe just so they can find it when they do a google search for Brussel Sprouts, rather than the correct spelling of Brussels Sprouts.

However, it’s a debate I’ve heard many time – is it Brussels Sprouts or Brussel Sprouts? Regardless, here is what you’ll need to make roasted Brussels Sprouts.

Ingredients for making Roasted Brussels Sprouts

16 oz fresh brussels sprouts
2 tbsp. olive oil
Salt & pepper
Shredded Parmesan cheese (optional)
Large freezer bag

Directions for roasting Brussel Spouts: 

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the fresh brussels sprouts in half and place in the large freezer bag.
Pour the 2 tablespoons of olive oil into the freezer bag, seal and shake to coat.
Pour the brussels sprouts onto the prepared baking sheet and season with salt & pepper.
Bake 20-25 minutes, stirring about 1/2 way through.
Remove from oven and garnish with shredded Parmesan cheese (optional).

My family doesn’t care for the Parmesan cheese addition, so I usually add that to my serving individually.

Sometimes I will also add a splash of balsamic vinegar to the bag before I shake to coat, so you might try out that variation as well.

If you have young kids (or even older family members) who don’t like brussels sprouts, you might have them try this dish, I’ve converted quite a few brussels sprouts haters with this recipe.

Since my family doesn’t love these as much as I do, we usually have leftovers and I love to eat these the next day with my lunch.

They are actually really yummy cold, and I will usually add them as a topping to a salad.

I even like them as a little snack in the afternoon. Did I mention that I love brussels sprouts?
