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!

The absolute CRISPIEST Brussels sprouts You will ever make! This is the perfect cooking method! I like to add some parmesan cheese to mine towards the end for the perfect crispy, cheesy sprouts!
Thanks so much Sara! I appreciate you taking the time to write a great review!
I wouldn’t change a thing. Delicious
I’m so glad you loved it, Julia!
So good!
Thank you so much!
My husband made these for me. I was hopeful. When I came home from work, I reheated them in the microwave and they were even still amazing! 10/10, make it again!
Thank you Jenny!
This recipe made my sister like Brussels sprouts! Thank youuu
You’re so welcome Alyssa! Thanks for making the recipe and leaving a lovely review!
I’ve made a lot of brussel spouts over the years and they never turn out quite crispy enough. This was the first recipe that perfectly nailed the crispiness. Yum!
Yay! Love to hear that, Vlad! Thanks for your review!
Can you air fry this recipe?
Yes you can! Check out my air fryer roasted brussels sprouts recipe!
I’m not keen about the mess this will make in my oven pan. Can I use foil or parchment paper to prevent the oil mixture from cooking into my pan and creating a big mess?
Hi Dianna – you could definitely use foil or parchment paper! Just keep an eye on the cooking time – you may need a few more minutes to get them extra crispy!
Would putting down parchment paper to help with cleanup affect this recipe?
Hi Erik – I haven’t tested this with parchment paper so I can’t say for sure. If you try it let me know how it turns out!
I have heard that parchment paper will take away from the crispness. Just an FYI.
Absolutely delish! Used hot honey. Yum!
Love it!
