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!!
My family loves brussel sprouts and this recipe quickly became our favorite! To contrast the savory and salty of the parmesan cheese, a drizzle of balsamic glaze takes these sprouts to the next level! Thanks Nagi for the recipe!
I wonder if this works in the airfryer?
I made these using an air fryer, and they did not taste of anything except soft cabbage and a bit of carbon. I don’t know if it was only the air fryer that made them that way. They may have overcooked.
Made this a few days ago and loved it. I added in a sliced leak as I didn’t have enough BSprouts and a bit of red capsicum (for colour really) both worked well. Oh, yes a sprinkle of dried oregano with the Panko and Parmesan as well. I reheated the rest today, needed about 12 min at 180degC and a splash of olive oil to loosen up after overnight in the fridge, but still delicious.
Expect nothing less than perfection with Nagi’s recipes (afterall they are Dozer approved). This recipe is simple and fun to make. Crunchy and absolutely delicious. Healthy alternative to fries! I had this with a sliced steak burger. Wonderful!
Making these for an Easter lunch with friends with your slow roasted pork. Shall add a little prosciutto and lemon zest as my sons are not fond of this vegetable. Reckon you might be on a winner with this.
Best Brussells Sprouts recipe I’ve tried so far. Tasty, but don’t know if I’ll try it again. Looking forward to trying the Creamy recipe. 🙂
Love to know which one you prefer Julie!! N x
Can u use Cauliflower instead of Brussel Sprouts
I have a 10 year old self-proclaimed Brussel sprouts hater (not sure why since we don’t often eat them). I made these roasted sprouts for Christmas lunch along with your mushroom
rice. She took one bite of these sprouts and is now a convert. She asked for seconds and ate all the leftovers too! 😋 Making these sprouts tonight with a tri-tip. Thank you, Nagi!
LOVE these! So addictive 😊
I am trying these for the first time for Christmas dinner. Soooo excited! Since I am making a honey glazed ham, I thought I might leave out the parmesan and add precooked crumpled bacon. Would this create an issue with cooking or will I need to make other changes?
Hi Kerry, the parmesan is what melts and sticks to the sprouts, bacon just won’t have the same effect sorry – although it would still be delicious! N x
Is the oven temperature of 200 c conventional or fan forced? Thanks
Hi Rachel, it’s the same for all oven types for this recipe 🙂 N x
Just made this for lunch. Delicious, thanks Nagi. I thrown in a big red bell pepper (chopped) for the color and a bit of sweetness.
This is the ultimate recipe for Brussel sprouts Nagi…hubby was impressed. Your recipes never let me down. Thank you!!
Another winner Nagi! Followed the recipe and was delicious! Thank you!
So crispy, so tasty, so easy!
Made this for the family tonight and they all complained! They were disappointed I hadn’t made more 😁. Great dish and so quick to throw together. Thank you!
Nagi, I am absolutely obsessed with all of your recipes! Cannot wait to make these tonight!
I hope you love them Noelle – love to know what you think! N x
Hi Nagi
Would it ruin the dish if I substituted plain breadcrumbs for the panko? I don’t have panko on hand and you know… quarantine.
Not at all Kristine – enjoy! N x
I made these last night along with some grilled zucchini. They were amazing! I just decreased the baking time by a few minutes as my oven tends to be hotter than others. Would love a recipe for a garlic aioli to be added to this! ANOTHER WINNER.
Ohh yum Agill, great idea! N x
Time for my daily comment on your website: amazing, crispy goodness. Will definitely be making again
😂 Thanks so much Colleen
