Today, we are making Roasted Brussels sprouts. When roasted, these little cruciferous gems transform into caramelized treats. Many people believe that Brussels sprouts originated in Ancient Rome; they gained their name from Belgium.

Brussels sprouts are cultivated during winter and thrive in cool climates. Considered as mini cabbages, they are a powerhouse of essential nutrients.

Ingredients

Brussels sprouts, White Pepper, Salt, Butter and Olive oil.

When selecting Brussels sprouts, choose fresh, green ones that are in season. Season with white pepper, salt, and olive oil for a fruity essence. To enhance the flavor, consider soy sauce, oyster sauce, or sesame oil for an Eastern twist. Adding Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and dried basil gives a savory touch, while a drizzle of lime juice brightens the dish. Butter can also add richness. For variation, try a dressing of honey and Dijon mustard by mixing one teaspoon of each with olive oil. A balsamic glaze can also provide a tangy complement.

Instructions

To prepare Brussels sprouts, wash them and remove any dry leaves. Pat them dry to promote caramelization. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Arrange the sprouts in a single layer, season with salt and white pepper, then drizzle with olive oil and add a few small pieces of butter. Bake until golden brown, shaking the pan halfway through for even browning. Once done, enjoy your roasted Brussels sprouts with your favorite main course.

What Can You Serve with Roasted Brussels Sprouts?

Roasted Brussels sprouts pair well with a variety of main dishes, including roasted chicken, grilled chicken, mashed potatoes, and lamb chops. You can also add them to a Caesar salad to introduce a new flavor profile to a classic dish.

How to Store Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Store roasted Brussels sprouts in the fridge for three to four days. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them for up to 12 months. When you’re ready to eat them, thaw the sprouts and reheat them in the oven. Since Brussels sprouts are compact, they can hold a lot of water between their leaves. Reheating them in the oven is the best method to help dry out that moisture.
