What You Need

- garlic cloves
- balsamic vinegar, optional
- large baking sheet
Trimming Brussels Sprouts
If you’re buying brussels sprouts off the stalk (how conventional grocery stores mostly sell them) the ends and outer leaves often get a little brown.
Trim these off and pull off any outer leaves that are have black spots on them.
Brownie points if you can compost them!
How Long Do You Roast Brussels Sprouts
The amount of time you roast brussels sprouts for depends on the oven temperature.
For this recipe we’re roasting brussels sprouts at 400ºF, for about 20 minutes total.
Optional Balsamic Vinegar
After 15 minutes of roasting the brussels sprouts, you can add a touch of balsamic vinegar if you’d like, and continue roasting for another 5-10 minutes until the sprouts are golden brown.
Roasting Tip
Give the brussels sprouts some space and place cut side on the baking sheet, which will give them their golden color.
You can opt to turn all of the brussels sprouts down from the start of the baking time, or after the first 15 minutes, and after you’ve added the balsamic vinegar.
If you don’t love balsamic vinegar, just leave out and turn the brussels sprouts all cut side down for a total baking time of 20 minutes.
Ways to Serve
Roasted brussels sprouts make the perfect side dish to my Sweet & Spicy Salmon, as part of a power bowl, or an appetizer for a dinner party!
Finish off these brussels sprouts with a little parmesan cheese, or nutritional yeast if you’d like.
You can also add some all-purpose seasoning before cooking, but if you’re looking for a simple flavor, this recipe is perfect on its own.
