30-Minute Roasted Brussel Sprouts In The Oven

Author: Jessica Haggard
I didn’t know that the perfect side existed until these roasted Brussels sprouts! They come out crispy on the edges, buttery-soft inside, and packed with a rich, savory flavor. Crunchy bacon and a drizzle of balsamic glaze make this 30-minute dish even more appetizing!

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 slices bacon chopped
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425 °F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
  • Toss the Brussels sprouts in a large bowl with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  • Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the chopped bacon evenly over the top.
  • Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the Brussels sprouts are crispy on the edges and the bacon is fully cooked.
  • Drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving warm.

Notes

  • Dry the sprouts before seasoning for the crispiest texture. 
  • Choose thick-cut bacon as thin bacon cooks too fast and can burn before the sprouts are ready.
  • The sprouts will steam instead of roast if overcrowded, so give each sprout breathing room so the heat can circulate.
  • Flip only once during roasting to avoid interrupting browning and drying them out.
  • Toss in toasted nuts, dried berries, or cheese for extra texture and flavor. Drizzle with hot honey, sprinkle with crumbled goat cheese, or add roasted garlic cloves before serving for extra flavor.
  • Serve immediately for peak crispness.
Serve: Serve with mains like roasted chicken, baked salmon, rump roast, and baby back ribs. For a lighter meal, serve alongside a grain bowl or a simple oil-based pasta dish. They also shine on a holiday table as a side to turkey, ham, or prime rib.
Store: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, warm in a 375 F oven for 8 to 10 minutes or in an air fryer for 3 to 5 minutes. Avoid reheating in the microwave.
