This recipe for Roasted Brussels Sprouts delivers super crispy, caramelized vegetables with a hint of sweetness from honey and savory notes from garlic powder, black pepper, and kosher salt. Perfect as a flavorful side dish, these Brussels sprouts are roasted at high heat to achieve a delightful crunch while keeping the inside tender.

Ingredients

Brussels Sprouts

  • 1.5 lbs Brussels Sprouts (washed and halved lengthwise)

Seasonings

  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tbsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp honey

Oils

  • 1/2 cup olive oil (divided in half)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and place an empty baking sheet inside while it heats. This ensures the pan is hot, helping to crisp the Brussels sprouts.
  2. Prepare Brussels Sprouts: Cut the Brussels sprouts lengthwise into halves and transfer them to a mixing bowl. Add half of the olive oil, then season with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and honey. Toss well until all pieces are evenly coated with the seasoning and oil.
  3. Heat Baking Sheet: Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and set it on a heatproof surface. Spread the remaining olive oil evenly across the baking sheet to prevent sticking and promote crisping.
  4. Arrange Brussels Sprouts: Place the seasoned Brussels sprouts onto the baking sheet with the flat side down to maximize caramelization and crispiness during roasting.
  5. Roast Until Crispy: Roast the Brussels sprouts in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes. Flip them once about halfway through cooking to ensure even browning and crispness all over. Remove from oven once the sprouts are deeply caramelized and crispy on the outside.

Notes

  • Halving the Brussels sprouts lengthwise helps them cook evenly and get crispier.
  • Preheating the baking sheet is key to achieving a crispy texture.
  • Flipping the sprouts halfway through roasting helps them brown evenly.
  • You can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave for a different sweet note.
  • For extra flavor, sprinkle grated Parmesan or a squeeze of lemon juice just before serving.
