Why You’ll Love This Recipe!

So I think I may have just begun a love affair with brussels sprouts.  My first try at brussels sprouts was this recipe for Teriyaki Glazed Roasted Brussels Sprouts which is delicious!!  They have become a staple at our Thanksgiving table.

If you are a non believer when it comes to Brussels Sprouts I just have one thing to say to you – try it!  Seriously, they have a totally bad rap.  So they may look a little strange the way they grow and they may look like little baby cabbages (because they are) but when they are prepared the right way they taste delicious!

Lemon Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Ingredients Needed

  • Fresh Brussels Sprouts 
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Butter, salted
  • Sugar
  • Lemon, juice and zest
  • Kosher Salt
  • Black Pepper
  • Parmesan Cheese, freshly grated

How to Make Lemon Roasted Brussels Sprouts

  • Prep your brussels sprouts by trimming off any brown on the end of the sprout, remove any loose leaves and cut them in half.
  • Place in a bowl and coat with olive oil, salt and sugar.

  • Place them on a baking sheet and bake them at 400 degrees F for about 10 – 15 minutes, until golden brown.

  • Turn them so the browned crispy side is up. You can do this by shaking the pan or using a spatula.
  • Add in some lemon slices and roast for another 5 minutes or so until they are fork tender. Time will vary depending on the size of your brussels sprouts.

  • Remove from oven and drizzle them with a mixture of lemon zest, butter and pepper. Toss to coat.
  • Sprinkle with some freshly grated Parmesan cheese.  Yum!!

Tips from leigh Anne

  1. Brussels Sprouts can be bought on the stock or already removed from the stock. If you need to remove them from the stock is just twist the brussels sprout and it will pop right off.
  2. Always use fresh brussels sprouts. To check for freshness they should be bright green and have some weight to them. If they are really light in weight that means they have started to dry out.
  3. Smaller brussels sprouts tend to be sweeter than larger sprouts.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you store leftover lemon roasted brussels sprouts?

Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Reheat the in the oven or the stovetop to keep them crispy. Reheating in the microwave will make them softer.

Can I freeze brussels sprouts?

Brussels sprouts will keep in the freezer for 2-3 months. When you are ready to serve, thaw in the fridge overnight, and heat on the stove or oven till warmed through.

For some other delicious veggie recipes try these:

  • Maple Brussels Sprouts
  • Roasted Teriyaki Brussels Sprouts
  • Caramelized Brussels Sprouts
  • Parmesan Roasted Potatoes
  • Roasted Broccoli with Parmesan

      I love that they were a hit. Great idea to roast them on the BBQ. Oven space is always such an issue on a holiday!
