Slivered brussels sprouts and shallots caramelize, getting crisp and golden if you roast them at high heat. A dash of Worcestershire and a drizzle of lemon juice add just enough tang and acidity to round them out, without obscuring their natural sweetness. If you’re not cooking for a crowd, feel free to halve the recipe and use one baking sheet. Serve these as a simple side dish to roast meats or fish, or use it to top a grain bowl, adding a fried or jammy egg for protein.

    Heat oven to 450 degrees. In a medium bowl, toss together brussels sprouts, shallots, olive oil and salt. Evenly divide brussels sprouts mixture between two rimmed 13-by-18-inch baking sheets, spreading everything into one layer. Top with thyme sprigs.

    Roast, stirring once, until brussels sprouts and shallots are tender, golden and lightly charred in spots, 20 to 25 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together garlic, Worcestershire and lemon juice.

  4. Step 4

    As soon as brussels sprouts emerge from oven, immediately drizzle with Worcestershire dressing, tossing to combine. Taste and add more salt, lemon juice, or Worcestershire if needed. Top with grated Parmesan if you like and serve immediately.

Can u make ahead? Need the oven space:(

This is exactly the way I've been making brussels sprouts for at least 30 years. I've used this recipe to convert many brussels sprouts haters to brussels sprouts addicts. My daughter, who would gag at the mention of brussels sprouts when she was little, now tries to hog them all for herself whenever I make them this way. This is one of my all time favorite vegetable recipes, and it has the benefit of being really easy to make.

Chopped prosciutto or pancetta works well in here, as does a bit of Balsamic instead of Worcestershire. I also mince the shallots, and they caramelize to a sweet note that compliments the sprouts nicely.

Really delicious. But they need to be eaten quickly, as the dressing makes the crispy parts soggy....

5 stars!! Has graced our table across multiple holidays and meals, always with rave reviews!

I fixed this for my brother 2 yrs ago and he's still talking about it. Served it with some thick, tender pork chops. He just came up from MS to visit me, so guess what's on the menu at his request. It's pretty delectable, so we're happy to have it as often as needed!
