Discover the ultimate Roasted Brussels Sprouts recipe! Sweet, tangy apple cider glaze transforms this side dish into a fall favorite.
This is the perfect oven roasted Brussels Sprouts recipe. Like our Apple Cider Vinaigrette, fresh apple cider is the secret ingredient. It add a tangy, sweet, and perfectly caramelized flavor. Roasting the sprouts makes them crispy on the outside, with the right amount of sweetness.
Our family loves this recipe. It's nothing like the Brussels sprouts we hated as kids. Like our Maple Glazed Brussels Sprouts, this dish pairs perfectly with main dishes like Roasted Spatchcock Chicken and Classic Pot Roast.

FAQ
We recommend roasting for 40 minutes at 375°F for perfectly crispy Brussels sprouts that are tender on the inside.
For crispy Brussels sprouts, ensure they're dry before roasting, cut them in half for more surface area, and don't overcrowd the pan to allow proper airflow.
Brussels sprouts can taste bitter if they're undercooked. Marinating them in apple cider and roasting them until caramelized helps bring out the natural sweetness and reduces bitterness.
Absolutely! Brussels sprouts roast well with carrots, sweet potatoes, parsnips, or onions. Just ensure all veggies are cut to similar sizes for even cooking.
Yes, you can make roasted Brussels sprouts ahead of time. Reheat them in a hot oven or air fryer to restore their crispiness before serving.
