My Best Brussels Sprouts Recipes

Here are all of my best Brussels sprouts recipes in one place. You’ll find kitchen-tested recipes that use various cooking methods. I’ve got multiple ways to make roasted Brussels sprouts, sautéed, shaved, or even au gratin with lots of cheese!

If you’ve only had them boiled and mushy, give them another try! High heat brings out their natural sweetness and gives you those golden, crispy edges everyone fights over.

My personal favorite method: Sautéed Brussels Sprouts. In my experience, this is the way to make them extra golden and crispy, while keeping the center just tender enough and not too soft.

How To Avoid Soggy or Mushy Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Like I do in my Brussels sprouts with sweet potatoes recipe, the key is pre-heating your pan! As the oven gets hot, place your sheet pan inside. This way, when you add them to the pan (always cut flat side down!), they’ll start sizzling and browning right away.

Equipment: I like to use these XL sheet pans that don’t tend to warp. Some warping is inevitable, but these are the best I’ve found.

A Few Tips for Cooking Brussels Sprouts

• Pick medium, firm sprouts: Look for bright green heads with tightly packed leaves. Sprouts that are similar in size cook more evenly.
• Give them space: Spread them out on the pan so they brown instead of steam.
• Cut side down: Placing the halves cut side down on the pan gives you the best caramelization.
• Let them roast undisturbed for most of the cooking time. At 430-450°F, they only need about 15-20 minutes, so avoid flipping them too early.
