Buffalo Brussels Sprouts
Description
The Buffalo Brussels Sprouts recipe features halved Brussels sprouts tossed in melted butter, minced garlic, and black pepper, then roasted at 425°F until browned and crisp. After roasting, they are coated with a buffalo sauce blended from hot sauce and butter, and briefly returned to the oven. The roasting brings a caramelized, crispy texture, while the buffalo sauce adds spicy, buttery flavor. Optional garnishes such as crumbled blue cheese and sliced green onion introduce a creamy, fresh contrast. The method includes stirring during roasting to ensure even cooking and crispness.
This dish can be served as a spicy side or appetizer, pairing well with foods that benefit from a flavorful vegetable element. The combination of buttery heat and garlic makes it a distinctive choice for those who enjoy buffalo-style flavors.
For optimal results, larger sprouts should be cut to uniform size to ensure even roasting. Crispy texture can be enhanced by briefly broiling at the end, and leftovers can be stored airtight up to four days. Reheating under a broiler or in an air fryer helps restore the crispness.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts
- ¼ cup butter melted, divided
- 1 clove garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup buffalo sauce such as Franks
- blue cheese and sliced green onion, optional garnish, crumbled
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Cut brussels sprouts in half if desired.

- Remove Brussels from the oven and toss with Buffalo sauce. Return to the oven for 2-3 minutes.

Notes
- Cut larger Brussels sprouts into halves to promote even roasting and crispness.
- For extra crispiness, broil the sprouts for about 4 minutes at the end of roasting, shaking the pan halfway through.
