How to make roasted Brussels sprouts with cranberries

Here is what you’ll need:

2 pounds of brussels sprouts
olive oil
salt & pepper
garlic powder
grated parmesan cheese
cranberries
almond slivers

It’s essentially a three-step process to make this delicious side dish:

step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F. Slice your brussels sprouts in half, larger Brussels can be cut into quarters.

step 2

Place the brussels sprouts on a rimmed baking sheet and toss them with oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Arranging them on the baking sheet is important for getting nice, crispy Brussels– try to place them so the cut sides face down! Roast them in the hot oven for 15 minutes (20 minutes if you like them extra browned).

step 3

Remove them and toss the Brussels with the parmesan cheese, cranberries and almonds before placing the pan back into the oven for an extra ten minutes of roasting.

Pro tips for getting perfectly-roasted Brussels sprouts

A hot oven is key, and the difference between lovely, crispy yet tender Brussels and mushy, overcooked Brussels. Roasting Brussels sprouts requires a hotter oven. If your Brussels have ever turned out soft and mushy, it’s likely your oven is not set to a high enough temperature. And no one likes mushy Brussels.
Make sure you hold off on adding the parmesan cheese, cranberries and almonds until the very last 10 minutes of roasting, otherwise these ingredients will begin to burn (especially the almonds).

1 cup grated parmesan cheese
3/4 cup dried cranberries
3/4 cup raw almond slivers

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 450°F.
Slice the Brussels sprouts in half (if you have larger Brussels cut them in quarters).
Place the Brussels sprouts on a rimmed baking sheet and toss them with the oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Try to arrange them so the cut side faces down.
Roast the Brussels in the hot oven for 15 minutes (if you like them extra brown, roast them for 20 minutes).

Notes

Don’t add the parmesan cheese, cranberries, or almonds until the last 10 minutes of roasting. If they cook longer than 10 minutes they can start to burn, especially the almonds.
