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

Life of Dozer
When Dozer was at a friends’ house and promptly stole a toy then hid under the dining table protecting his prize!!
Hubby hates brussel sprouts so I did half bs and half trimmed broccolinni. Came out delicious and he even happily ate some of the sprouts!
So delicious. We have made these now a few times. Would highly recommend. Super easy and tasty.
Fabulous, thank you Nagi!
I was looking for a quick prep for the Brussels sprouts to serve with mashed sweet potatoes and gourmet lamb & feta sausages for family dinner on a freezing winter night.
I didn’t have any breadcrumbs so I added plenty of dry roasted whole almonds instead. Followed the recipe otherwise. What a hit, so delicious. Even our little Aussie Terrier was begging for more!
First time cooking brussels sprouts. Needed a bit more salt (just me?). My 7yo is not picky but it did need some selling. Still, he didn’t hate it!
Wow, so yummy. I made these as a Thanksgiving dish and everyone liked them. It really transforms the brussel sprouts and doesn’t have that same taste you expect from them. The chewy parmesan and bread crumbs were delicious.
These are so easy and so good! I was worried that the Parmesan would just melt and become a stuck mess but not at all! Both my kids loved them!
Lovely recipe. I don’t usually have panko breadcrumbs but I had almond flour and it worked fine. I needed a bit more salt though ,, may be my palate.
Hi Nagi! This was quite tasty but I found the garlic burned too quickly, leaving a bitter taste. Any ideas on how to get the sprouts cooked through without burning the garlic?
I used garlic powder 🙂
Another winner. I’ll add red pepper flakes next time. Thanks again, Nagi 🙏❤️

The only way to eat Brussel Sprouts. Added bacon and chilli flakes because I can’t help myself! Yum!
The first time I made this, it was to avoid throwing away a netted bag of rather sad-looking, slightly wilted brussel sprouts. All of the times I’ve made it since, was with brussel sprouts bought specifically to savour this brilliant little recipe. My wife and I take turns stabbing these tasty morsels out of a bowl when watching telly. I sprinkle a pinch of salt over the sprouts once they’ve been coated in oil before they’re tossed in the other ingredients. Other than this minimal deviation, I follow Nagi’s recipe to a T – and it never fails to please!
I made this for Thanksgiving and it was an absolute hit! Even people who didn’t like Brussle sprouts ate and liked it.
Tried many recipes, this by far is the BEST!
Loved it! Cooked up chopped bacon and added at the end. Because Bacon, why not 🙂
Yum! I can’t stop eating these. So tasty and simple to cook
My partner hates brussel sprouts, turns his nose up even if they’re in the fridge. I made this recipe and he loved them…went back for seconds. So good 😊
I haven’t had brussel sprouts in years (like 30 years) because I hated them as a child. My daughter wanted to try them, so I decided to use this recipe. Oh wow, they were delicious. I will definitely be making again.
My favorite
Tastiest, easiest brussesl spout recipe. I could eat a whole tray of these. Thanks Nagi

I’ve always hated Brussells Sprouts! First time I tried this recipe I wasn’t convinced. Took me a long time to try again, and this time it was better. Just made it a third time and I think I’m becoming a Brussels Convert. Thanks Nagi!
Hi Nagi will definitely add this to our xmas dinner..absolutely doing the slow cooked garlic butter turkey, glazed ham and pork belly with of course duck fat potatoes and various vegetables. Thanks again for being so wonderful..merry xmas to you and dozer..xx
These are perfect!! Thank you for yet another fantastic recipe <3
I am glad you enjoyed them Nancy!!
