Ingredients for Basic Garlic Butter Brussels Sprouts

  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

How to Make Basic Garlic Butter Brussels Sprouts

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and trim the Brussels sprouts, removing any loose outer leaves. Halve or quarter larger sprouts for even cooking.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  4. Spread the sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  5. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned, shaking the pan halfway through.
  6. While the sprouts are roasting, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
  7. Once the sprouts are cooked, pour the garlic butter over them and toss to coat.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
