The most amazing Roasted Brussels Sprouts are golden and CRISPY with a crunchy garlic parmesan crust! Ridiculously easy and mouthwateringly good, this is sure to become your “go-to” brussels sprouts recipe.
Simple enough for midweek, impressive enough for holiday feasting, roasted is without a doubt the BEST way to eat brussels sprouts!
Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Everyone needs one ridiculously good brussels sprouts recipe to prove to Sprouts Haters that they CAN be amazingly delicious.
And this is one of mine! (The other is probably Brussels Sprouts in Creamy Parmesan Sauce – let your imagination dwell on that one for a minute …)
It’s outrageously easy and mouthwateringly delicious. How often do you hear THAT in the same sentence as the words “Brussels sprouts”??!
So what’s so good about these sprouts?
-
They’re crispy on the outside – my favourite part!
-
Flavour boost from parmesan and garlic
-
Extra crunch from breadcrumbs
-
No hint of that unappealing boiled sprouts smell that so many people can’t stand!!
What you need
Here’s what you need to make Crispy Roasted Brussels Sprouts. With so few ingredients, there’s not much space for substitutions here – if any of these get omitted, the finished dish really will be lacking “something” I’m afraid!
How to make CRISPY Roasted Brussels Sprouts
The key for CRISPY Brussels Sprouts (and we all know the crispy golden bits are the BEST part!) is a very hot oven and the parmesan which melts into a crunchy golden crust. It’s tempting to use more parmesan – but to be honest, there’s not much point because there’s only so much that sticks to the sprouts!
And of course the panko adds extra crunch!
What to serve with Roasted Brussels Sprouts
This is a vegetable side that will pair with all types of protein from chicken to pork, beef to seafood. Serve it alongside a simple midweek meal like these Honey Garlic Chicken, pan seared Marinated Pork Chops or an incredible Garlic Butter Steak.
For seafood, it would be right at home on the side of Crispy Pan Fried Fish, a pile of Garlic Prawns (Shrimp!) or a big pot of Mussels.
And of course, holiday feasting! I see these sprouts alongside your golden Juicy Roast Turkey, your Herb & Garlic Butter Turkey Breast, your Standing Rib Roast (Prime Rib) or your Pork Roast with impossibly crispy crackling!
And of course – the simplest way to serve them: just eat ’em straight off the pan. If you try these sprouts, tell me if you were tempted!!! – Nagi x

I have a 10 year old self-proclaimed Brussel sprouts hater (not sure why since we don’t often eat them). I made these roasted sprouts for Christmas lunch along with your mushroom
rice. She took one bite of these sprouts and is now a convert. She asked for seconds and ate all the leftovers too! 😋 Making these sprouts tonight with a tri-tip. Thank you, Nagi!
Amy says
LOVE these! So addictive 😊
Kerry says
I am trying these for the first time for Christmas dinner. Soooo excited! Since I am making a honey glazed ham, I thought I might leave out the parmesan and add precooked crumpled bacon. Would this create an issue with cooking or will I need to make other changes?
Nagi says
Hi Kerry, the parmesan is what melts and sticks to the sprouts, bacon just won’t have the same effect sorry – although it would still be delicious! N x
Rachel says
Is the oven temperature of 200 c conventional or fan forced? Thanks
Nagi says
Hi Rachel, it’s the same for all oven types for this recipe 🙂 N x
Tri says
Just made this for lunch. Delicious, thanks Nagi. I thrown in a big red bell pepper (chopped) for the color and a bit of sweetness.
Dani Hamilton says

Made this for the family tonight and they all complained! They were disappointed I hadn’t made more 😁. Great dish and so quick to throw together. Thank you!
Noelle says
Nagi, I am absolutely obsessed with all of your recipes! Cannot wait to make these tonight!
Nagi says
I hope you love them Noelle – love to know what you think! N x
Kristine says
Hi Nagi
Would it ruin the dish if I substituted plain breadcrumbs for the panko? I don’t have panko on hand and you know… quarantine.
Nagi says
Not at all Kristine – enjoy! N x
Agill says
I made these last night along with some grilled zucchini. They were amazing! I just decreased the baking time by a few minutes as my oven tends to be hotter than others. Would love a recipe for a garlic aioli to be added to this! ANOTHER WINNER.
Nagi says
Ohh yum Agill, great idea! N x
Colleen says
Time for my daily comment on your website: amazing, crispy goodness. Will definitely be making again

Ooooh, I am making these tonight to have with homemade spaghetti. We’re in for a nasty ice storm and I KNOW we’re going to love these!
Maurz says
Was looking for an alternative recipe for sprouts – and this one from Recipetineats is now firmly in my Go-To file. Delicious. And yes…I had to test one or two before they got served up! P.s: Love all the Dozer pics and updates x
Anna says
Hi Nagi! I just love your website. Every recipe has been a success!
Am just wondering with the Brussels sprouts if making them the day before and heating them up in the oven changes the texture?
Rebecca says
Did you try cooking them in advance and reheating? How did they go? I’m planning the same for. BBQ on the weekend and wanted to know if they are just as good that way as fresh
