Notes
Here are a few tips to help you make the perfect roasted Brussel sprouts:
- Cut Them Evenly: Try to cut the Brussel sprouts into similar sizes. This helps them cook evenly.
- Use High Heat: Roasting at 400°F (200°C) will give them that crispy texture. The high heat also caramelizes the sugars, making them sweet.
- Don’t Overcrowd: Spread the Brussel sprouts in a single layer. If they’re packed too tightly, they will steam instead of roast.
- Toss Halfway: Halfway through the cooking time, give the Brussel sprouts a toss. This ensures they cook evenly on all sides.
- Season Well: Salt, pepper, and olive oil are a must. But feel free to get creative with other seasonings like garlic powder, thyme, or paprika.
- Finish With Balsamic Vinegar: For extra flavor, drizzle some balsamic vinegar over the roasted sprouts when they’re done. It adds a nice tangy contrast to the sweetness.
