Garlic Roasted Brussels Sprout Ingredients

First, gather the following ingredients:

• Brussels sprouts – Brussels sprouts are the stars of this recipe. They’re flavorful and healthy, a part of the cabbage family and known for their edible buds. You may buy them in a bag or still on the stalk. For this recipe I trim the Brussels sprouts and halve them.
• Garlic Powder – Garlic powder is garlic that has been dehydrated and ground into a powder. Garlic powder has a very distinct and powerful flavor.
• Garlic Salt – Garlic salt is a combination of garlic powder and garlic salt. Using them together allows us to achieve a perfect garlic flavor without overpowering this recipe with saltiness.
• Paprika – Paprika is a mixture of powdered sweet chilis. It has a beautiful bright red hue and a distinctive flavor that sets off the garlic nicely in this dish.
• Olive Oil – Olive oil is a widely-used oil that compliments many vegetable dishes. It’s also considered by dieticians to be a “good fat” so adding a little olive oil to a well-balanced diet is often recommended. Really good olive oils will have an almost spicy finish and will help all the spices stick to the Brussels sprouts well.

Steps to Make Roasted Brussel Sprouts

Once you’ve assembled your ingredients, use my easy roasting method to make the Brussels sprouts:

Prep

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Trim the Brussels sprouts from the stem (if they come that way) and trim off any woody parts.

Mix

Slice the Brussels sprouts in half. Combine the dry ingredients (garlic powder, garlic salt, and paprika) on a plate or small bowl.

Toss

Place the trimmed sprouts in a large bowl and drizzle with with olive oil. Sprinkle with your spice mixture. Toss with tongs to ensure all the sprouts are coated. Lay the Brussels sprouts out on a baking sheet in a single layer, which will ensure they roast evenly.

Roast

Bake for 25 to 35 minutes or until golden and crispy on the outside leaves.

Tips and Tricks to Perfect Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Trim. When trimming, I prefer to cut mine in half from the stem up rather than horizontal across the leaves to ensure the most uniform baking.

Space. Ensure there is a little space between the Brussels sprouts as you lay them out on the baking sheet to make sure they roast and don’t steam.

Wash. If you get Brussels sprouts on the stem or if the bag you buy does’t say they’ve been washed, wash your sprouts before starting this recipe. Better to be safe than sorry!
