I can’s say enough wonderful things about these Roasted Garlic Brussel Sprouts. Roasting brussel sprouts brings the flavour to a whole new level that you will be sure to love. These are roasted in garlic, olive oil and sea salt for a roasted garlicky taste. They’d go great alongside Crispy Oven Roasted Parmesan Baby Potatoes and the Creamy Parmesan & Leek Turkey for a complete dinner!
Fun fact. Did you know that Brussel Sprouts gained their name from Brussels, Belgium! Which is a little funny because they are native to the Mediterranean and not not Northern Europe. However, after being introduced to Belgium, they gained popularity and that was how they were finally named Brussel Sprouts. Now, don’t we all feel smart…hahaha
Moving on to how to enjoy these little nuggets of goodness. Keep reading, I’m promise you’ll like them.
What To Look For When Buying Brussel Sprouts
- Smaller Brussel sprouts usually have a sweeter taste. Whereas the larger ones more like a cabbage
- Trimmed and untrimmed sprouts are the same. If you purchase the untrimmed Brussel sprouts, you can just trim them at home yourself
- They last about two weeks in the refrigerator.
- Fresh sprouts are better as the frozen ones tend to hold a lot of water. So for roasting, i recommend fresh if possible.
How To Prepare and cook The brussel Sprouts
- Trim the ends of the Brussel Sprouts and cut them in half.
- If they are really large, you can cut them in quarters. Keep in mind the smaller you cut them, the quicker the roasting time will be.
- For crisper Brussel Sprouts, make sure you lay them out flat on a roasting tin and they are not overlapping. If they are overlapping they will tend not to crisp up as much.
How To Serve The Roasted Garlic Brussel Sprouts
These are so easy to make and make a delicious side dish, in my very humble opinion. They would go great on any dinner table as a super easy side dish. Serve them with chicken like the Slow Cooker Lemon & Rosemary Chicken or my Stuffing Topped Roasted Turkey Tenderloin. Also great with seafood like the Lemon Crusted Baked Cod. You choose your Main Course to go with the sprouts.
Enjoy the recipe friends and I’ll see you all in a day or so!
