Discover the ultimate Roasted Brussels Sprouts recipe! Sweet, tangy apple cider glaze transforms this side dish into a fall favorite.

Roasted Brussels sprouts in white bowl, half eaten with copper spoon

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.

Ingredients

Roasted Brussels sprouts ingredients on kitchen counter

  • APPLE CIDER: use local, fresh apple cider for optimum flavor
  • GARLIC: 4 garlic cloves
  • ONION: chopped onions
  • OLIVE OIL: use the best quality you can afford

🔪 Top tip

Check roasting sprouts at the 30 minute mark, as browning may vary based on as size of sprouts and make of oven.

Instructions

  1. Clean Brussels sprouts. Place in a deep dish and cover with apple cider. Place a plate on top to weigh them down (so they stay covered in cider).
  2. Allow to marinate for 30 minutes up to over night.
  3. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  4. In a large cast iron (oven safe) skillet, heat oil. Add julienned onions and garlic cloves.
  5. Cook for 10 minutes until onions are translucent.
  6. Drain brussel sprouts and add to pan.
  7. Stir to coat with onions and place in oven. Roast for 30-40 minutes (depending on size of sprouts).
  8. Remove from oven. Toss with chopped almonds and serve.
  9. Add kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste.

Why this recipe works

  • Apple Cider flavors the Brussels sprouts with just the right amount of sweetness, and helps them to caramelize while cooking.
  • The toasted almonds added some nice texture and crunch
  • You can save time by prepping the night before: cut the sprouts and soak them in apple cider overnight. They will be full of flavor and ready to roast in the morning.

FAQ

What is the best way to roast Brussels sprouts?

We recommend roasting for 40 minutes at 375°F for perfectly crispy Brussels sprouts that are tender on the inside.

How do I make roasted Brussels sprouts crispy?

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.

Why are my roasted Brussels sprouts bitter?

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.

Can I roast Brussels sprouts with other vegetables?

Absolutely! Brussels sprouts roast well with carrots, sweet potatoes, parsnips, or onions. Just ensure all veggies are cut to similar sizes for even cooking.

Can roasted Brussels sprouts be made ahead of time?

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.

    This is one of my favorite recipes for Brussel Sprouts! I started making it for Thanksgiving 3 years ago and it has become a family favorite. This year, both my mom and I made it since we were not able to celebrate together. We highly recommend trying! <3
