The Perfect Thanksgiving Brussels Sprouts


Normally, I only cook/bake the easiest, most lazy recipes, but this one is worth a little tiny bit of extra work. These are my two-step Brussels sprouts for any occasion...and one of the dishes I always bring to Thanksgiving. Not only are these delicious by themselves, but you can dress then up anyway you want. Bacon/maple, cherries/almonds, bacon/cranberries are some of my favorites.

What you need:

  • fresh Brussels sprouts (the smaller the better and because I'm lazy, I like the ones you can buy that are pre-washed and trimmed)
  • 2-4 TBSP olive or avocado oil
  • salt and pepper (and any other spices you like)
What you do:
  1. Pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees
  2. Slice your washed and trimmed sprouts in half.
  3. Toss the sprouts in oil and salt and pepper until evenly coated
  4. Spread the sprouts on a cookie sheet in one even layer
  5. Roast those puppies for 20-30 minutes until they are brown and crispy. You'll have to toss them at least once during the roasting process.
  6. Then...this is what makes them super duper tasty, throw them in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes at 400 degrees to crisp them up.*
  7. SERVE!
*I throw my air fryer in my car if I'm bringing them to someone else's house and do this final step right before I serve the veggie. I also, have been known to do this step outside because they sometimes can be a bit stinky. 

Enjoy!
