How To Roast Vegan Brussels Sprouts

If you have never roasted your own brussels sprouts before, don’t worry! The process is so simple and easy to do.

Add in a little garlic and you are in for a real treat.

When making this vegan brussels sprouts recipe, the first thing you want to do is make sure you are choosing healthy looking veggies!

When you are picking them out from the store, you want to make sure that they are a bright green and firm.

You want to feel the brussels sprouts to ensure that they are firm! You also want to try and choose brussels sprouts that are around the same size, so they roast evenly.

When you bring them home, first you are going to want to cut the core off.

To do this, slice off the bottom part of the brussels sprouts so that the core is removed.

Then, you are going to want to slice each sprout in half so that you get a more even roasting surface area.

You want to ensure that you cut the brussels sprouts lengthwise, from bottom to top, so that they will touch the pan while baking and give you that wonderful caramelized flavor.

Next, slice 4-6 cloves are garlic.

To make this vegan brussels sprouts recipe even more flavorful, you can take one of the cut edges of garlic and wipe it over the flat edge of the brussels sprouts.

Depending on how many brussels sprouts you are making and how much time you have, you can do this with multiple garlic cloves and all of the sprouts.

Spreading the cut garlic clove on the brussels sprouts intensifies the flavor even more.

Either way, you are going to want to cut your garlic cloves in half and combine them with the brussels sprouts.

Next, take olive oil, or the oil of your choice, and lightly toss with the brussels sprouts until they are coated.

Now you are going to season.

I love seasoning with salt, pepper, and an Italian spice blend.

You can use whatever you have on hand such as rosemary, thyme, basil and more.

If I am feeling like adding even more flavor to my vegan brussels sprouts, I will add a shake or two of Seasoning Salt from the grocery store!

It is a blend of spices including garlic and onion powder, paprika and more.

You will then bake your brussels sprouts and garlic in the oven and you will turn them or mix them with a spatula or wooden spoon every 20 minutes.

You will roast the vegan brussels sprouts for about 45 minutes and you will turn 1-2 times during the process, at 20 minutes and at 35 minutes.

And that is it! You just made your own delicious garlic roasted brussels sprouts!

Enjoy as a side to your favorite dish.
