WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO COOK BRUSSEL SPROUTS?
There are two cooking methods for this recipe:
- SAUTÉE FIRST THEN ROAST: This method creates an irresistible fried and nutty flavour before roasting. Pan fry sprouts first in hot oil to get them deliciously caramelized and slightly charred. Add butter and garlic just before they hit the oven to roast until fork tender. Once they’re roasted, top with cheese and devour the entire pan.
OR
- OVEN ROAST ONLY: Toss sprouts with olive oil, melted butter, garlic, salt and pepper. Throw them on a baking sheet and roast until fork tender. The cheese goes on in the last 5 minutes under the broiler (or grill) to melt into a delicious warm blanket of mozzarella cheese.
Both are delicious. The pan fried first method just comes in slightly ahead of the oven only method. Nothing beats that unmistakable flavour of fried anything in oil, but this is personal preference!
WHAT CAN BE USED INSTEAD OF MOZZARELLA CHEESE?
Mozzarella cheese is a favourite here, even buffalo tastes amazing in this recipe. We tested this recipe with Provolone, Parmesan and Monterey Jack with great success and feedback. You can also try it with Gruyere or Gouda.

Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with nonstick cooking oil spray.
Heat oil in pan over medium-high heat until hot. Add sprouts, season with salt and pepper. Once hot, add your brussels sprouts and shake pan so sprouts land cut side down in a single layer. Let them cook, undisturbed, until slightly charred and caramelized (about 6-8 minutes).
Melt the butter in the pan. Stir the butter through the sprouts, then add the garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds), stirring through the sprouts.
Transfer sprouts to the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until just fork tender.
