    The Easy Roasted Brussels Sprouts + Cauliflower Recipe My Kids Love

    This Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Cauliflower recipe is one of our all-time favorite healthy vegetable side dishes that the whole family loves to eat.

    Roasting vegetables turns them into vegetable candy. I'm not even kidding; this is the secret way to cook vegetables that will have even your kids begging for more. The high temperature brings out a natural sweetness. Oven roasting also produces a tender, yet non-mushy vegetable, plus it couldn't be easier. A little oil, salt and pepper, and fresh lemon are all that you need to turn a simple vegetable into the star of the meal.
    Looking for an easy way to round out a meal or a healthy option to add to the table at dinner? Roasted veggies are the way to go. Not a fan of either Brussels sprouts or cauliflower? I'm here to convert you to both and this cooking method is the key. I can't wait for you to try it.

    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.

    What can I make for dinner with cauliflower and Brussels sprouts?

    • Garlic and Herb Whole Chicken in the Crock Pot
    • 5 Ingredient Slow Cooker Chicken Legs
    • The BEST Baked Chicken Breast
    • Slow Cooker Pork Tenderloin and Potatoes
    • The Perfect Steakhouse Baked Potato
    • Super Simple No-Knead Bread

    Pick a simple protein I have listed, add the veggies, and top it off with a carb like a perfect baked potato or some easy no-knead bread and you have the makings of one delicious meal!

      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!
