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.

Choose fresh and green Brussels sprouts that are in season. White pepper powder and salt add a light seasoning, whilst olive oil offers a fruity taste to the sprouts. You can also use an array of seasonings and dressings to enhance the sprouts’ flavor; consider soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame seed oil for an Eastern flavor. Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and dried basil will give this dish a savory flavor, and a drizzle of lime juice will take it over the top. The addition of butter will give the Brussel sprouts a rich taste.

There are many other ways to enhance this recipe based on the type of main course you are preparing. Here are some of our favorite variations: You can also try a dressing made of Honey and Dijon mustard. Simply mix 1 teaspoon of honey, 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, and a drizzle of olive oil, then pour the mixture over the vegetables. Additionally, a balsamic glaze can provide a tangy flavor that beautifully complements the dish.

Instructions

Wash the Brussels sprouts, remove any dry leaves, and use a kitchen towel to remove any excess moisture. This step will ensure the Brussels sprouts caramelize in the oven. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a parchment paper on your baking tray and add the sprouts. Make sure that they are not overcrowded. Add salt, white pepper powder, and drizzle with olive oil. Add a few knobs of butter, then bake the Brussels sprouts until golden. To ensure even browning, shake the pan halfway through. Remove from oven. Your Roasted Brussels sprouts are ready to eat with your favorite main meal.

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.
