Tips and Substitutions

• I used Fischer and Weiser Texas Whiskey Glaze bought from my local HEB grocery store. Any of their glazes work great on these sprouts! Costco periodically carries their Roasted Raspberry Chipotle Chipotle Sauce flavor. If you don’t have this brand available, you can also use:
  • Kung Pao Sauce
  • Balsamic Glaze
  • Honey and Balsamic Glaze Combined
  • Sweet Soy Glaze
• All-purpose seasoning salt is a versatile seasoning salt with a blend of salt, pepper and spices. There are several brands on the market, but these are great with just salt and black pepper too.
• These can also be made in the air fryer at the same time and temp or to desired crispiness.

Storage

• Store leftovers in an air-tight container in the refrigerator up to 3-4 days.
• While I don’t recommend freezing roasted Brussels sprouts, you can freeze them in a freezer-safe container and store 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

Frequently Asked Questions

• How do I reheat leftover Brussels sprouts?
  • You can reheat them in the oven or microwave. To use the oven, preheat it to 350°F and spread the Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet. Heat for about 5-10 minutes until warmed through. In the microwave, use short bursts of 30 seconds, stirring in between, until they’re heated to your liking.
• Can I add other seasonings besides oil and salt?
  • Absolutely! Try adding garlic, balsamic vinegar, parmesan cheese, or even a touch of maple syrup for added flavor.
• How do I prevent Brussels sprouts from getting too dry?
  • Make sure not to overcook them. Keep an eye on their color and texture, and remove them from the oven when they’re nicely browned but still tender inside.
• My sprouts weren’t crispy throughout. What can I do to fix this?
  • Make sure your Brussels sprouts are dry before tossing with the oil and seasoning. Also, you can adjust the temperature higher to 375-425°F and adjust the time accordingly. Watch the sprouts carefully as they can burn quickly.
