This is the best way to make Crispy Roasted Brussels Sprouts!
My Crispy Roasted Brussels Sprouts recipe is for anyone who thought they didn’t like brussels sprouts! They’re so delicious – caramelized with crispy leaves that taste almost like potato chips – and are the perfect side dish for any meal! If you prefer the air fryer, try my Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts!
If you’re looking for more side dishes, try my creamy Mashed Potatoes, Baked Mac and Cheese with a crispy topping, Honey Roasted Carrots, Creamed Corn, Potatoes au Gratin, Twice Baked Potatoes, Roasted Potatoes, and Roasted Green Beans with Bacon!
The only sprouts recipe you’ll ever need. Do NOT omit the honey, it’s one of the main players — it caramelizes in the oven and gives the brussel sprouts extra crispy bite.
Ingredient Tips
See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
- brussels sprouts – Try to use similarly sized brussels sprouts so they cook as evenly as possible and crisp up at the same rate. If the brussels sprouts vary largely in size, some may be burnt by the time all of them are crispy.
- kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder – this seasoning is key, as it balances out the honey.
- honey – the honey helps with caramelizing the brussels sprouts – several readers have shared that they made this with hot honey to great success!
- olive oil – I recommend using a high quality olive oil for this recipe, which will add delicious flavor to the roasted brussels sprouts.
How to Make this Crispy Roasted Brussels Sprouts Recipe
Wash and Cut the Brussels Sprouts– Preheat your oven to 450F and place your baking tray in the oven to preheat. Next, wash the brussels sprouts (remove any yellow or wilted leaves) and slice in half (lengthwise).
Season the Brussels Sprouts – Place the brussels sprouts halves in a large mixing bowl and combine with half of the olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and honey. Mix and toss to evenly coat each brussels sprout half.
Roast the Brussels Sprouts – Take the baking sheet out of the oven and drizzle the other half of the olive oil on it. Lay the seasoned brussels sprouts halves on the sheet, flat side down. Roast at 450F for about 30 minutes or until the leaves are dark golden brown and crispy (the cooking time will vary based on your oven). Check about halfway through and add more olive oil if needed. You may need to roast for a few more minutes, depending on your desired color/crispiness. Transfer the roasted brussels sprouts to a bowl and season with salt to taste. Serve and enjoy!

Made this couple of times. Delicious! My family who usually detest Brussels sprouts enjoy this recipe. We find out sprouts are more crispy by cooking them face up.
I appreciate the great review, Margaret! That’s a great tip about cooking them face up!
Has anyone tried this with frozen Brussels sprouts? Just curious, if so what did you do differently to make them just right?
Excellent as is! Thanks very much for sharing this as we love crispy but tender brussel sprouts! I used a keto honey but it definitely did not distract from this dish.
Thanks so much for the great review, Gary!
This recipe produces perfect, tasty and crispy Brussels sprouts every time! The only thing I add to the mix is a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar. It gives them a sweet and tangy flavor that is to die for! Make sure to preheat the cooking sheet first. I think this helps the crispness!
I love this idea! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Patricia!
I’ve struggled to get the sprouts just right- not too black and not too mushy. This time the texture was perfect. The addition of the honey allowed the outside to have a crispy subtle- sweet caramelized flavor!
That is the best compliment – thank you Sheila for your great review!
10/10 SO CRISPY!! I did maple syrup instead of honey and I added chilli flake and topped it with a maple garlic aioli. Comfort food
Thank you so much for the great review, Harmony! I’m so happy you loved it!
I love brussel sprouts and have cooked them so many ways but this is the best by far. The honey made all the difference! I may try hot honey next time. I made the recipe as written but did use parchment paper for easy clean up. I did not need to adjust the time at all.
I really appreciate the great review, Becky! I’m so glad you loved them!
I have read that parchment paper will make the roasted veggies less crisp. Did you have that issue? Also, try adding a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar next time. Gives them an added punch of flavor!
Perfect in every way, came out the crispiest and with the addition of honey- magical!! Thank you!
Thank you so much Sammi!
