This Brussel sprouts recipe will convert all the Brussel sprout haters to Brussel sprout lovers. I would argue, that you might THINK you are a Brussel sprout hater, they get a bad reputation, but if you try them (especially cooked this way) you’ll convert immediately.  As a child, I put Brussel Sprouts in the Asparagus category.  Heading “yuck”.  As my palate became more refined and I grew up and stopped being so stubborn, I quickly realized that I had spent literally years missing out on this glorious dish, Asparagus included.   Brussel sprouts are so good that I am actually angry with myself for THINKING these wouldn’t taste good.  They are amazing and have so many health benefits.  There are a hundred ways to cook them.  If you aren’t convinced yet, don’t worry, I’ll keep trying.

Also, If you’ve never tried brown butter before, it is time to try and get ready for your life to be changed for the better.  Browned butter is a very simple process and it adds so much flavor to this already beautiful dish.  I used the browned butter method a lot, but I especially love it on Brussels Sprouts.

How to make Brown Butter

Browned butter sounds fancy and complicated but it is not.   The process of browning butter includes slowly heating butter in a saucepan until it starts to bubble.  You then whisk vigorously until the bubbles create a foam and eventually turn golden brown.  Pro tip:  once the butter turns golden brown, make sure to pull it from the heat.  Burning happens relatively quickly once you get to that point.

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes
Servings 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 - 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 8 tablespoons butter unsalted
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts washed and halved
  • 2 ½ teaspoon kosher salt divided
  • 2 ½ teaspoon cracked black pepper divided

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 425°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the Brussels sprouts, cut side down on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, followed by sprinkling with salt and pepper.

  3. Bake for 10 minutes, until the edges begin to brown. Set aside while making the brown butter.
