Those were always good, but they’re also delicious when skillet-cooked, added to a salad and roasted! Only three main ingredients are needed to make this perfect roasted brussels sprouts recipe!

Recipe Tip

How to find the best brussels sprouts:

To find the best brussels sprouts, look for ones that are bright green, firm, and have tightly packed leaves. Choose smaller, compact sprouts, as they are usually more tender. Avoid any that are yellow, brown, or have soft spots. Store sprouts in the fridge in a ventilated bag for best results.

What I Love About This Recipe:

I love that these are caramelized and crispy on the outside, while remaining tender on the inside.
The roasting process reduces the naturally bitter taste of brussels sprouts.
This is a great side dish to almost any meal!
