FAQs
Thinner cuts will allow the sprouts to get more crispy. You will also want to make sure that you use enough oil when roasting them.
Also, cooking them in one layer on the sheet pan with space between each to help ensure that all of them get equal heat.
This recipe is a perfect side for Thanksgiving dinner, the perfect complement to turkey. They are also delicious as a weeknight side dish for salmon, meatloaf, or chicken - pretty much anything!
I do not recommend using frozen if you can get fresh. Frozen tends to lose crispiness and that is one of the best things about this recipe.
