Oven “fried” brussel sprouts that are golden brown and crispy get tossed in a sweet, salty, spicy, and sticky Asian glaze that lovingly coats each leave and soaks into every browned edge for maximum flavor to sprout ratio.

How do you make oven fried brussel sprouts?

With the right technique, we can achieve the texture of a fried brussel sprout without all the excess oil!

To get that crispy fried texture the secret is in the oven temperature. We want to crank it up high so that the exterior of the brussel sprouts get crispy but the interior stays toothsome and not mushy.

The longer you cook brussel sprouts, the more sulfur flavor they take on. I recommend no more than 20 minutes in the oven at 425 degrees.

If the sprouts still aren’t crispy at the 18 minute mark, turn on the broiler for the last two minutes to crisp them up. Watch them closely at this stage since the broiler can turn them from browned to burnt in the blink of an eye.

The second tip is to roast the sprouts cut side down. The cut side will caramalize against the hot pan and the leaves will crisp up due to the extra air flow.
