Tips:

  • Trim and halve the Brussels sprouts: Cut off the root ends and any yellow or wilted leaves. Halving the Brussels sprouts will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook the Brussels sprouts in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. This will help them brown evenly and prevent them from steaming.
  • Season the Brussels sprouts well: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all great seasonings for Brussels sprouts. You can also add other spices, such as cumin, paprika, or chili powder, to taste.
  • Roast the Brussels sprouts until they are tender and slightly browned: The Brussels sprouts should be tender enough to pierce with a fork, but still have a slight bite to them. The outer leaves should be slightly browned and caramelized.
  • Serve the Brussels sprouts immediately: Brussels sprouts are best served hot. You can garnish them with fresh herbs, such as parsley or thyme, or a squeeze of lemon juice.

Conclusion:

Holiday Brussels sprouts are a delicious and festive side dish that is perfect for any holiday meal. They are easy to make and can be roasted in advance, making them a great option for busy cooks.
