Getting Started
- Roast Brussels sprouts at 400°F (200°C) for 20-30 minutes. This ensures a crisp exterior and tender interior, preventing sogginess.
- Give sprouts space on the baking sheet. Overcrowding steams them instead of roasting, leading to soft, rather than crispy, results. Use two sheets if necessary.
- Halve or quarter larger sprouts. Smaller pieces cook more evenly and develop more surface area for caramelization. Trim tough ends and remove any loose outer leaves.
- Toss sprouts generously with a healthy fat like olive oil, avocado oil, or rendered bacon fat. This promotes browning and carries flavor.
