I thought I liked Brussels Sprouts o.k. "if cooked right," until my friend tipped me off to roasting them with a drizzle of coconut oil. Now I *love* Brussels Sprouts. So easy, too! Several of our Canadian friends tell us they are *the* vegetable must-have with their Christmas-dinner ham and scalloped potatoes. So that's how we tried it, and the whole group agreed that we must make it a tradition. The sprouts were one of the things people kept going back for more helpings of. Brussels Sprouts are a completely different vegetable when roasted this way!

How To Make roasted brussels sprouts

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 425°F. Wash sprouts, cut off tough ends, and remove all outer tough or blemished leaves. Cut sprouts in half.
  • 2
    Melt coconut oil. Toss Brussels Sprout halves with coconut oil (olive oil may be substituted), salt & pepper (fresh ground is great, but not necessary.) Spread in a single layer on a baking pan.
  • 3
    Roast at 425°F for 20 minutes, or until parts of the sprouts are nicely browned and caramelized. Can also be roasted at 400°F for 30-45 minutes, with equally good results.
