Tips and Tricks for Making Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Cauliflower
- Look for Brussels sprouts that are about two inches long and are bright green with no dark blemishes.
- Feel free to use another neutral oil for this recipe if you prefer.
- If you don’t have the lemon, don’t stress it. It’s great on it but they’re good without it, too.
- I swear by this enamel baking sheet. Bakes up evenly and cleans up so well! So pretty you can serve off of it.
How do you make crispy Brussels sprouts?
The key to super crisp veggies is to roast them in a really hot oven and do not line the pan they are baked in. I repeat – don’t line your pan with anything if you are after that golden crust that comes from roasting. Direct contact with your hot pan is the secret to that golden brown edge on your vegetables.

I love roasted veggie, but have never tried roasting beets. Do you just slice them up, or do you peel them first?
I peel mine! The outside is pretty tough. Other than that, it’s just the same. They are so so sweet when roasted!
