Main Ingredients

• Brussels Sprouts. Make sure you buy fresh brussels sprouts, rather than the frozen kind. Look for bright green heads that are firm and heavy for their size. The leaves should be tightly packed.
• Butter. You can use plant-based butter for a vegan version of this dish. Also, you can use oil, if you prefer.
• Spices. Garlic powder, paprika, and salt are all you'll need. Or use my Montreal Steak Seasoning instead.

How to make these Garlic Roasted Brussels Sprouts

1. Trim the brussels sprouts by cutting off the stem and removing the dry outer leaves. Then slice each one lengthwise.

2. Place the brussels sprouts on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle them with garlic powder, paprika, and salt. Then pour the melted butter on top.

3. Now, using your hands, mix everything together nicely so the brussels sprouts have a nice coating of butter and spices. Spread them out on the tray so they can cook evenly. Bake them for 20 minutes at 400°F, until they have browned and are tender. Serve warm.

Tips for the Best Roasted Brussels Sprouts

• Use fresh brussels sprouts. Using fresh brussels sprouts that have bright green heads, are firm and heavy for their size, and have leaves that are tightly packed will ensure that you get the best flavor in this dish.
• Remove the stem and outer leaves. These parts of the brussels sprouts are the least flavorful, and the leaves are often wilted and discolored. Using the inner leaves will make for a more flavorful dish.
• Thoroughly coat the brussels sprouts with spices. Using your hands is the best way to make sure the butter and spices coat all the brussels sprouts evenly before roasting. Doing this ensures that the flavors are evenly distributed for the best results.

How to Store and Reheat them

These Garlic Roasted Brussels Sprouts are best when they're stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container. They will stay fresh for up to 4 days. When you are ready to reheat them, just place the brussels sprouts on a baking sheet and heat them in the oven for about 5 minutes at 350°F.

Freezing Brussels Sprouts

Brussels sprouts will lose their texture from freezing, so I don’t recommend freezing them. However, if you have to freeze them, you can do so. Just place cooked and cooled Brussels sprouts in an airtight freezer-safe container and store them in the freezer for up to 2 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

What to Serve with this Dish

These Garlic Roasted Brussels Sprouts are a great side because they complement so many other dishes. Here are a few suggestions:
