I rarely meet a brussel sprout that I don’t adore. Unless they are steamed, in which case I’d rather pass. I just can’t get on board with steamed vegetables! {Do you like steamed veggies? Maybe I’m missing some important step.} Sauteed, roasted, caramelized or grilled and I’d eat vegetables for breakfast, lunch and dinner!
Back in March when I was in California my cousin, who is an excellent cook, made some extra delicious brussels sprouts and I couldn’t wait to try them at home. They are a delicious combination of sauteed and roasted.
Sauteed & Roasted Brussels Sprouts - 2-4 servings
Cut of stem and slice lengthwise.
Pour a healthy layer of olive oil in the bottom of a large pan and heat to medium-high. Turn on broiler to high.
Place the brussels, cut side down, in a single layer on the pan. Cook for about 6-7 minutes, until the bottoms have turned brown. (Don’t flip them or stir, just let them get brown!)
Remove from heat and place in oven, middle rack, and broil for about 4-5 minutes until tops are golden brown. Season with salt and pepper.
We were clearly fans – the Taster and I were fighting over the last few.

Those look delicious. I’ve never prepared brussel sprouts on my own — I’ve only had them at restaurants or friends’ houses. I didn’t know what to do with them!
I’ve just started appreciating brussels sprouts, but I have yet to enjoy them plain…I definitely need some sort of sauce or glaze to get on board with them!
Faith – you should try these brown butter brussels! http://anutritionisteats.com/brussels-sprouts-with-brown-butter/
They are delish and have a little more flavor added!
I love brussels sprouts! I can eat them all day
I’ve avoided brussel sprouts since being stuck at the dinner table for not eating them at a young age. Guess it’s time for me to be “an adult” and give them another chance. Thanks for the recipe:)
Haha, you should definitely give them another try!

Adding parmesan and pork never hurts either….
I love brussels sprouts! Unfortunately the BF does NOT like them at all, he said I can’t even cook them in the apartment because they make our place stick for days afterwards! Boo
This sounds soo delicious! I do like some veggies steamed, but roasted and sauteed are usually way better…. and doing both just sounds amazing!
Brussels sprouts are my fave veggie (had ‘em for breakfast today!), so I’m always up for a new way to prepare them. This recipe looks delish!
I actually prefer brussels sprouts steamed over roasted — tossed with a drop of garlic butter, of course!
I also like broccoli, sugar snap peas, carrots, green beans, beets, and artichokes steamed — but JUST until they are done. Literally, like 1 to 2 minutes for everything but the beets and artichoke!
Have you ever heard to salt your veggies as you put them in the steamer? I swear, this is the magic touch!
Ok, I will try steaming something soon. It has been a while and maybe they’ve just been too mushy in the past. Thanks for the salting trick!
I LOVE BRUSSEL SPROUTS!!! I just had some roasted and I LOVE THEM!!!
New reader and I LOVE your blog!!!
This is my favorite way to have brussel sprouts. I actually like to roast them just the way you did, but have them with a little side of hot sauce (whichever kind you prefer – I like Trader Joe’s spicy jalepeno sauce or an asian spice). SO good!
Thanks Natasha! I have to try your idea of serving them with hot sauce, I love spice!
I love brussel sprouts, they are so darn good!
Oh my gosh I LOVE brussel sprouts…Roasted, steamed, sauteed, grilled, ETC…My husband absolutely turns up his nose everytime I make them (which is usually 2 or 3 times a week!) I will say this though, they have to be fresh…I can’t do bagged frozen brussels…
I just added them to some soup yesterday and they were my favorite part…First of they are adorable and secondly I love the crazy amount of leaf layers there are…The texture makes me swoon!
I can’t believe you don’t like steamed veggies! I haven’t taken my steamer out in a while (it’s on a top shelf I can’t reach) but I do remember adding garlic and ginger with the veggies while they steamed and they turned out pretty decent!
I’m going to give steaming another try – it has been a while.
This is the only way to eat them! Fabulous recipe!
I made the Daily Garnish brussels sprouts almost weekly for a few months (this recipe : http://www.dailygarnish.com/2010/12/asian-sesame-glazed-brussels-sprouts.html). The husband really liked them too.
The kids however, walked in the kitchen and said ‘what is that awful smell?” Hopefully it will become an acquired taste.
the hubster LOVES brussels sprouts. we pan brown them with olive oil, garlic and pine nuts. it’s his absolute fav.
and i don’t much care for steamed veggie’s either.
I have to agree with steamed veggies. No a big fan. These sprouts look yummy!
roasted brussel sprouts are the ONLY way to go!!
