HOW TO MAKE OVEN ROASTED BRUSSEL SPROUTS:

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Place the cut Brussel sprouts in a large bowl and toss with the olive oil, salt, and pepper until coated.
Pour the Brussel sprouts onto a large sheet tray, make sure they are not touching as much as possible and in a single layer.
Roast for 20-30 minutes, flipping every 5 minutes to get even coloring. The Brussel sprouts are done when they are vibrant green, dark golden brown, and tender-crisp.
Once they are done, add the butter and garlic powder to the pan and toss everything until coated, this is an optional step.
Taste, adjust seasoning if necessary, and serve.

WHY ARE MY BRUSSEL SPROUTS BITTER?

This happens when you do not cut your brussel sprouts in half. They contain thiocyanates which is an acid that is released when they are cooked.

When they are not cut in half, they are not able to release as much of this acid which in turn makes them bitter. This is why you will see brussel sprouts are usually cut when cooked.

DO I NEED TO LINE MY BAKING SHEET?

No, you do not want to line the baking sheet. You want the brussel sprouts to come into direct contact with the pan itself. This helps it roast and get its nice charred color.

WHAT TEMPERATURE SHOULD I COOK BRUSSEL SPROUTS?

We cook our Oven Roasted Brussel Sprouts at 375 degrees F. This is a high enough temperature where they will be able to get crispy and charred but also stay firm.

You do not want to overcook these because they can become soggy or burnt and that is not what we are going for.

HOW TO STORE:

These can be stored in an airtight container and kept in the refrigerator where they will keep for up to 3-4 days. To reheat you can place on a lightly oiled pan and bake at 375 for about 5 minutes until heated through or quickly in the microwave.

I do not recommend that you freeze brussel sprouts as they can become soggy.

TIPS AND TRICKS:

Make sure you trim and slice your brussel sprouts before roasting.
You can easily double this batch by using two pans and cook in batches.
Do not overcrowd the pan, we want these to cook evenly.
Make sure you cook directly on your baking pan this will help char them.
Stir them around every 5-10 minutes to make sure you get all sides.
