Roasted Brussels Sprouts (Sweet & Spicy)

Jump to Recipe

This crispy roasted brussels sprouts recipe is one of my favorite healthy side dishes. It’s sweet, spicy, and bright.

Growing up, I don’t remember eating Brussels sprouts much. It was all about spinach. At least in my home. As I got older, Brussels sprouts became popular. Right? Now, I see Brussels sprouts on the menus at restaurants all the time. From cheesy brussels sprouts to brussels sprouts with bacon, or just well-seasoned sprouts. The key to making this delicious fall vegetable is all about how you prepare them. I love them sautéed, raw, or roasted. Yes, a raw brussels sprouts salad is my jam.

Why are my roasted brussels sprouts bitter?

Here are a few tips for making your brussels sprouts taste less bitter. 

Seasoning your roasted brussels sprouts with help balance the flavor. Also, do not overcook them. Overcooking your sprouts will make them taste bitter. 

How to make this roasted brussels sprouts recipe

  1. Preheat your oven to 425-degrees. 
  2. Wash and pat them dry to remove any dirt. 
  3. Next, you’ll need to cut off and discard the woody stems at the bottom. Then, slice the large pieces in half and leave the small pieces whole. They should all be a similar size. That way, they will cook evenly. 
  4. After that, season your sprouts. Drizzle with grapeseed oil and sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper. Mix until well combined. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet cut side down in an even layer. That way, they will get caramelized and brown crispy edges as they bake. Mix in the loose leaves as well. They will turn nicely charred and crunchy. 
  5. Now, let’s get baking. Bake them for 30 minutes or until your sprouts are soft and browned around the edges. 
  6. Now make the sauce. Combine maple syrup (or honey) and a vegan spicy chili oil sauce in a small container. Set aside for now. Right now, I’m loving Lahtt Sauce vegan chili oil from Wholefoods. 
  7. Once cooled, transfers the sprouts to a serving dish. Drizzle with the maple-spicy sauce and combine well. Taste and adjust flavors as needed. Finally, serve when you’re ready.
