The Black Peppercorn Spicing up mealtime!
There are times when simple is best and that is exactly true when it comes to brussels sprouts. I have had brussels sprout casserole before that is creamy, cheesy and trying its hardest to hide the truth that brussels sprouts are in there. It was ok, but nothing like this recipe. These roasted brussels sprouts are so simple to make and they celebrate the wonderful flavour of these veggies that resemble little mini cabbages. Packed with nutrients, brussels sprouts are low in calories and carbs, yet have high levels of protein, vitamin C and K. One serving of brussels sprouts yields 81% the daily value of vitamin C.
Roasting brussels sprouts take minutes to prep and get in the oven. Not only that but they are sweet, toasty and full of flavour. This recipe is the perfect weeknight side dish!
- 1 pound brussels sprouts
- 3 tbsp oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- Cut a thin slice off the stump of each brussels sprout and remove any loose or old leaves on the outside of each sprout.
- Slice each of the brussels sprouts lengthwise.
- Toss in the oil and spread out on a baking sheet.
- Sprinkle some salt and pepper on the brussels sprouts.
- Bake in a 400F oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time.

Love roasted Brussels Sprouts! They’re even better when you toss in some minced garlic and bacon – but either way SO good!

I was just telling my wife that we need to get some brussels for thanksgiving. I am home smoking bacon, and will brush these little babies with some of the rendered bacon fat, and then when done, toss them with the real bacon. AMAZING!!!!
That sounds incredible Aaron! Let me know your address and I will make sure I am there for the Thanksgiving dinner. LOL
Not a massive brussel spouts fan myself, however having them like this might make it more bearable though!
I appreciate all that beautiful caramelization you got on those sprouts! I can eat that entire tray.
