Crispy Roasted Brussel Sprouts Recipe
Crispy roasted Brussels sprouts make a standout dish on any table, and pairing them with complementary sides enhances the overall experience.
Equipment
- Oven
Ingredients
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 ½ lbs Brussels Sprouts cleaned and cut in half lengthwise
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil split in half
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp sea salt
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
Instructions
- Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). Preheating is essential. It ensures immediate sizzle when Brussels sprouts hit the pan.
- Gently rinse the Brussels sprouts under cold water. Quickly pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Trim the ends and cut them in half lengthwise. This cutting method allows for more surface area, leading to an increased crunch.
- In a large bowl, combine Brussels sprouts, 1/4 cup olive oil, balsamic vinegar, sea salt, black pepper, maple syrup, and onion powder.
- Get your hands in there! Toss everything together until the sprouts are well-coated. Ensure even distribution for optimal flavor.
- Spread the Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet in a single layer. Proper spacing is key. When they’re too crowded, they’ll steam rather than roast. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through. Expect a beautiful browning and crispiness to form.
- Once finished, take them out and let them cool for a minute. Serve them hot and enjoy your deliciously crispy creation!
Notes
- Cut Uniformly: Consistent sizes help everything cook evenly.
- Don’t Skip the Oil: Olive oil adds flavor and enables that desired crispiness.
- Pan Choices Matter: Opt for a heavy, non-stick baking sheet for the best results.
- Mind the Cooking Time: Ovens can vary, so keep an eye toward the end.
- Experiment with Spices: Feel free to add your favorite spices or herbs for a twist.
