easy roasted Brussels sprouts

October 15, 2014 by Marin Mama 15 Comments

easy roasted Brussels sprouts

You know those crispy Brussels that you get at a restaurant that you wish you could make at home?  Well, now you can make them at home, and they’re healthy to boot and take under 30  minutes to roast up to perfection.  If you have Brussels haters in your house, then give this method a try and I bet you they will be converted to Brussels lovers!

These Brussels are charred, crispy and caramelized on the outside, and soft with a bit of resistance (not mushy) on the inside.

This is a perfect and healthy side dish for the fall and winter months.  Between these sprouts and my 8-minute roasted broccoli, I’m all set for easy weeknight healthy side-dishes. I use virgin coconut oil in this recipe, as it’s a better oil to use at higher heat temps, and gives these sprouts a touch of sweetness, perfect for the kiddos. You can use olive oil here as well, and add a splash of freshly squeezed lemon juice after roasting, along with some parmesan to add a kick of flavor.easy roasted Brussels sprouts with coconut oil

easy roasted Brussels sprouts:

serves 4 as a side-dish

pan needed: 12-inch cast iron skillet 

  • 1 to 1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin coconut oil, melted, or olive oil
  • big pinch or two coarse Celtic sea salt
  • freshly ground pepper to taste

Wash and trim the bottoms of sprouts. Slice sprouts in half from stem to top. Put cut sprouts and those extra leaves that fall off in a large bowl. Brussels sprouts sliced in halfTo melt the coconut oil, just put it in a small glass bowl and microwave it for 25-30 seconds.

Pour melted coconut oil over the sprouts, add the salt and pepper and toss it all together.

Place an oven rack a few inches below your broiler, and turn on your broiler.

Set a cast-iron skillet on the stove top over high heat. When drops of water evaporate on the skillet, then the skillet is ready for roasting.

Toss the sprouts into the skillet and set the skillet under the broiler. Keep an eye on them and toss occasionally until browned and crisp. easy roasted Brussels sprouts in cast iron skilletRemove the pan from the oven and serve them up!

I love serving these up in the fall alongside one of my favorite fall burgers, buffalo apple burgers with sage-jalapeno pesto.buffalo apple burgers with sage-jalapeno pesto (1 of 1)-2

We also love pairing these with my weeknight bolognese.

Love quick and easy side-dishes?  Then try my 8-minute roasted broccoli.  It’s kid and adult approved!

      Hi Ann-Marie! I wish my kids loved Brussels. They tolerate them, but they don’t love them. I never thought to broil them either, but I just tried it one day and voila, it worked and it was quick, which is a win win in my book! Thanks for saying hi Ann-Marie! I hope you and your kids love the Brussels cooked this way!:) xoxo, Jacquelyn

New blog post! I’m going to be introducing a ser New blog post! I’m going to be introducing a series on the blog called, Recipes for Life. I’m not exactly sure what it truly is, or where it’s going to evolve to, but I do know that it’s going to be a place for me to journal my thoughts, share insights and to connect with you all on a new level.  I’ve been hearing the whispers to share in this way for a while, but I’ve been procrastinating and holding back, because I was waiting for the perfect message to put in a post, but I’ve learned that there is no perfect message, or perfect time to start anything new, there will always be an excuse and there will always be a self-created obstacle. Sometimes you just have to just start with a first draff, and get those words out as they are today, and trust that someone needs to hear those words, or message at this specific point in time. So that’s what I’m doing, I’m starting out in draft form and taking the first step.

New post! Easy oven roasted potatoes! Potatoes are New post! Easy oven roasted potatoes! Potatoes are in season, so I’m taking advantage of it. These roasted potatoes are family approved and loved, and make the perfect side dish, as they pair with just about anything. They also take under 30 minutes to roast up to crispy, browned perfection.  No need to pre-soak or boil these bad boys to get them browned and crispy, the cast iron skillet and broiler create the magic. Oh, don’t skip the red onion, as it adds a bacon-like flavor to the potatoes.

New post! Roasted red peppers! If you’re looking New post! Roasted red peppers! If you’re looking for ways to incorporate more veggies into your diet, then these roasted red peppers make it easy, as they are jam packed full of flavor! Roasting them with a bit of avocado oil and some Celtic sea salt adds a sweet smokey depth of flavor that’s hard to describe in words. These roasted peppers will be your new go-to, as they literally take no time to prep and bake up! They’re a great stand alone healthy snack, or make a stellar side dish that pairs with just about anything!  I make these at least 4-5 times a week, (if not more) as I use them in just about EVERYTHING. Click on the slides to see step-by-step photos and the recipe is below! 
INGREDIENTS:
*3 red, yellow or orange bell peppers, sliced into thin strips
*roughly 1/2 tablespoon avocado oil
*few pinches of fine Celtic sea salt

INSTRUCTIONS:
Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees.
Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash pepper, and holding from the top near the stem, slice the pepper straight down each side to form 4-6 big pieces. This keeps the seeds and ribs intact in the center and not all over your counter.

Slice the big pieces of pepper into thin slices.

Toss sliced peppers onto the baking sheet, drizzle them with avocado oil and a few pinches of sea salt, and mix them all together. 

Roast the peppers in the preheated oven for roughly 12-15 minutes, giving them a toss with some tongs around the 10 minute mark, until tender and slightly charred on the skins.
Eat them straight off the baking sheet, or let cool and store in a covered container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Check out the full post to see some things you can pair these bad boys with!
