Crispy Brussels Sprouts
Description
Crispy Brussels Sprouts are prepared by trimming and halving fresh Brussels sprouts, then tossing them with olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to coat evenly. Arranging them cut side down on a hot, coated sheet pan helps the sprouts develop a caramelized, crispy edge during roasting at 425°F for about 20 minutes. The roasting process intensifies their natural nutty flavor while keeping the centers tender but not soggy.
After baking, sprinkling fresh chopped parsley adds a bright herbal note, and serving with lemon wedges provides a fresh citrus contrast that can be squeezed over just before eating. The texture contrast of crisped outer leaves and softer insides makes them enjoyable as a side or finger food. Cooking with fresh Brussels sprouts is important to avoid excess moisture that would prevent crisping.
Choose sprouts that are uniform in size and shape for even doneness. You can serve them simply or alongside a dip such as ranch or spicy mayonnaise, enhancing their appeal as an appetizer or snack. The recipe highlights simple ingredients and straightforward technique to achieve this roasted vegetable classic.
Ingredients
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon parsley chopped, fresh
- cooking spray
- lemon optional, wedges for garnish
Instructions
- Place an empty sheet pan in the oven. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Place the Brussels sprouts in a large bowl along with the olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Remove the sheet pan from the oven and coat with cooking spray. Arrange the sprouts, cut side down, in a single layer on the pan.
- Place the pan in the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until sprouts are deep golden brown and crisp.
- Sprinkle with parsley, then serve, garnished with lemon wedges if desired.
Notes

- Use fresh Brussels sprouts rather than frozen to avoid excess moisture and soggy texture.
- Serving with dips like ranch or spicy mayo adds another flavor dimension.
