Simple enough for midweek, impressive enough for holiday feasting, roasted is without a doubt the BEST way to eat brussels sprouts!
Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Everyone needs one ridiculously good brussels sprouts recipe to prove to Sprouts Haters that they CAN be amazingly delicious. And this is one of mine! (The other is probably Brussels Sprouts in Creamy Parmesan Sauce – let your imagination dwell on that one for a minute …) It’s outrageously easy and mouthwateringly delicious. How often do you hear THAT in the same sentence as the words “Brussels sprouts”??! So what’s so good about these sprouts?
They’re crispy on the outside – my favourite part! Flavour boost from parmesan and garlic Extra crunch from breadcrumbs No hint of that unappealing boiled sprouts smell that so many people can’t stand!!
What you need
Here’s what you need to make Crispy Roasted Brussels Sprouts. With so few ingredients, there’s not much space for substitutions here – if any of these get omitted, the finished dish really will be lacking “something” I’m afraid!
How to make CRISPY Roasted Brussels Sprouts
The key for CRISPY Brussels Sprouts (and we all know the crispy golden bits are the BEST part!) is a very hot oven and the parmesan which melts into a crunchy golden crust. It’s tempting to use more parmesan – but to be honest, there’s not much point because there’s only so much that sticks to the sprouts! And of course the panko adds extra crunch!
What to serve with Roasted Brussels Sprouts
This is a vegetable side that will pair with all types of protein from chicken to pork, beef to seafood. Serve it alongside a simple midweek meal like these Honey Garlic Chicken, pan seared Marinated Pork Chops or an incredible Garlic Butter Steak. For seafood, it would be right at home on the side of Crispy Pan Fried Fish, a pile of Garlic Prawns (Shrimp!) or a big pot of Mussels. And of course, holiday feasting! I see these sprouts alongside your golden Juicy Roast Turkey, your Herb & Garlic Butter Turkey Breast, your Standing Rib Roast (Prime Rib) or your Pork Roast with impossibly crispy crackling! And of course – the simplest way to serve them: just eat ’em straight off the pan. If you try these sprouts, tell me if you were tempted!!! – Nagi x
