Many folks turn up their noses at the idea of Brussels sprouts. They can sometimes be a little chewy, even a little stinky. But when roasted under high heat in the oven, they become sweet and tender. In this recipe, we've doubled down on the sweetness with a bit of maple syrup, but we've boosted the roasted smokiness with meaty bacon. Show

Why are my roasted brussel sprouts not crispy?If you want your roasted Brussels sprouts to be seriously crispy, you need to crank up the heat. Roasting at a low temperature won't allow them to brown properly, so you want to get that oven nice and hot before tossing in your baking sheet. Follow this tip: Roast Brussels sprouts at a minimum of 400°F.
How do you get the bitterness out of roasted brussel sprouts?but we do know that salt takes down the bitterness of Brussels sprouts. It's not entirely clear how or why salt counters bitterness, but it does. Make sure you salt Brussels sprouts at the beginning of the cooking process. And then go in with a good pinch of sea salt or kosher salt before serving.
Should I par boil brussel sprouts before roasting?Brussels sprouts are quite dense little vegetables, so parboiling them gives you a headstart on the cooking process. It is especially helpful for dishes involving grilled or roasted Brussels sprouts, because it softens them in the middle.
