Helloooo will you look at those caramelized brussels sprouts?  Brussels sprouts get a bad rap, but luckily they have made a comeback in the last few years.  I always was fascinated by brussels sprouts when I saw them in the grocery store as a kid because they look like tiny cabbages.  I don’t remember my mom ever making them though – probably because she had terrible memories of awful boiled brussels sprouts as a kid!

    Simple, easy, and delicious. I’ve never liked Brussels sprouts, until now. I baked mine until done, then sprinkled with parmesan cheese and pooped them back in the oven, just until the cheese melted. These are so addicting, I was eating them off the pan.

    1. Hi Marianne – I haven’t tried it so I’m not sure how they would turn out The only worry I have with frozen instead of fresh is they might turn out mushy or with a different consistency.

  2. I made these tonight. I baked at 400 for 40 mins. I did place on foil on the cookie sheet. While the flavor was delicious and tops were nice and brown, the inside was very soft and mushy. What did I do wrong? I want to try again.

    1. Hi Tara – You can try cutting down the cooking time a bit, start checking at 30-35 minutes. I use a sharp knife to check their doneness. If you can easily pierce them with a knife, they are done. Were they fresh or had they been previously frozen?

    These Roasted Brussels Sprouts look sooo scrumptious! I can’t wait to serve this for my family on Thanksgiving dinner. Thanks for sharing!

  5. These Brussels sprouts were just as delicious as you said they were,caramelized to perfection and with the crunchiness that I love, this recipe is how I’ll make my Brussels sprouts from now on.

  6. I make these often but I add chopped bacon and/or pancetta for added flavor and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. So yummy!
