The Best Roasted Brussels Sprouts Recipe (Crispy, Caramelized & Easy)

Image
Jump to Recipe Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 22-27 minutes Total Time: 32-37 minutes Servings: 4-6 Oven Temperature: 425°F (220°C) Method: Oven Roasted If you think you do not like Brussels sprouts, there is a very good chance you simply have not had them roasted properly. These crispy roasted Brussels sprouts are completely different from the soft, bitter, overcooked Brussels sprouts many people remember from childhood. Roasting them at high heat transforms the little green vegetables into something wonderfully savory, slightly sweet, and deeply caramelized. The outer leaves become dark and crispy. The cut sides develop beautiful golden-brown edges. Inside, the Brussels sprouts stay tender without becoming soft or mushy.

A squeeze of fresh lemon at the end brightens everything up and balance...
