Roasted brussel sprouts are an amazing side dish. They check all the boxes: easy, healthy, delicious and satisfying.

The key to great roasted brussel sprouts is keeping it simple. All you need is salt, pepper and some olive oil. When I’ve had a busy day and all I want is something simple and delicious, these roasted brussel sprouts are a go-to side dish for us.

I feel like there is a trend with brussel sprouts to cook them with bacon or toss them in a balsamic reduction and they’re all delicious, but after making these roasted brussel sprouts I think you’ll agree with me that it’s just not necessary for great flavor.

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.

Slice off the bottoms of the brussel sprouts, cut them in half and arrange them on a sheet tray. Drizzle your sprouts with some extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle them with kosher salt and coarsely ground black pepper. Toss them with your hands to make sure the olive oil, salt and pepper get distributed evenly.

Season your roasted brussel sprouts with olive oil, kosher salt and coarse black pepper.

I measured and I used about 1 teaspoon of olive oil and ¼ teaspoon of salt and pepper. This is about half a pound of brussel sprouts and will serve 2 people.

These brussel sprouts are on the smaller side. I set a timer for 25 minutes and gave them a good toss around the 10 minute mark. If your sprouts are on the larger side you may want to give them an extra 10 minutes.

In a quick 25 minutes, I have perfect roasted brussel sprouts. They’re crispy and tender when you pierce them with a fork.

Roasted brussel sprouts are easy, healthy and so so delicious. I hope you add this easy side to your weekly rotation. It’s definitely in mine.
