Whether I’m preparing a weeknight dinner or putting together a holiday spread, these Brussels sprouts always end up being a favorite at the table.

Pairing Tip: These roasted Brussels sprouts are perfect with just about any main dish. Try serving them alongside a Tomato soup or Herb-Roasted Chicken for a complete, balanced meal. They’re also a fantastic holiday side dish when paired with a Quinoa Orange and Maple Cinnamon Salad for a mix of sweet and savory on the table.
Storage Suggestions
- Fridge: Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop them back in the oven at 350°F until warmed through for the best texture.
- Freezer: Brussels sprouts can be frozen after roasting, but be aware that they may lose some of their crispiness. Store in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months and reheat in the oven to restore some of their texture.
