I LOVE brussels sprouts. They are without a doubt my favorite food. This is so funny to me because I used to think they were disgusting. I never tasted them, but I had in my head I would hate them. Then I actually tasted them and realized they’re delicious. While steamed or boiled is fine, they’re best when they’re roasted. Whenever I see them in restaurants I always order them. Recently we’ve been making big batches on the weekends and I take a container to work as a lunch side dish every day. They’re so good I have to share our recipe. I hope you enjoy!
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Salt a large pot of water and bring to a boil. Add whole sprouts to the pot and boil for 5 minutes.
- Drain sprouts and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking.
- Allow sprouts to cool, and then cut each sprout in half.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine sprouts with the oil, garlic (using a garlic press), paprika, and salt and pepper.
- Mix thoroughly until sprouts are evenly coated.
- Transfer sprouts to a large cast iron cooking vessel (I used a dutch oven, but a deep casserole dish would work, too).
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the sprouts are darkened and begin to get crispy around the edges.
I use this butter extra virgin olive oil I picked up at a local oil store and love it. It gives the brussels sprouts such a nice, buttery flavor.
50 minutes in the oven took the brussels sprouts from looking like this
to this! It’s so hard not to eat them all right out of the oven. I have to remind myself they need to last for a week.
But I still steal one or two while they cool. ;p

i made brussel sprouts last night, but just steamed them – boring! must try your recipe out!
Yep! Roasted is the best and even better with garlic. This is how we do it too…but haven’t done it with paprika. Need to add that.
My inner child can’t believe I’m saying that I really DO like brussels sprouts. Favorite way to cook is to caramelize them on the stovetop!
Yum!! I was the same way and used to think brussel sprouts were gross even though I had never tasted them. Boy was I wrong. They are pretty much amazing, especially roasted!
To be honest, I have never tried Brussel Sprouts, I know at age 36 you would think that would be impossible. But it’s true. However, I am really starting to eat healthier this year, shed some pounds that snuck up on my in 2013, I know these things are really healthy, so maybe I should give your receipe a try:)
Yum! I’ve seen so many good brussels sprout recipes recently. These sound so good I may even be able to get my husband to try some. 😉
Roasted brussel sprouts are actually one of my favourites!! They get so yummy and crispy and taste just as good cold, from the fridge.
