Notes
- Crispiness Tip: For extra crispy Brussels sprouts, make sure they’re spaced out on the baking sheet, not overlapping. Crowding can cause them to steam instead of roast.
- Add Flavors: Experiment with seasonings like garlic powder, smoked paprika, or even a drizzle of balsamic vinegar after roasting for extra flavor.
- Adjust Cooking Time: If your sprouts are larger, they may need an extra 5–10 minutes in the oven to reach that perfect, golden-brown finish.
- Storage Tip: Roasted Brussels sprouts can soften when refrigerated, so reheat them in the oven or air fryer to bring back some crispiness.
