FAQs

Can I use frozen Brussels sprouts for this recipe?

Fresh Brussels sprouts work best for roasting as they become nicely caramelized. If using frozen, thaw and pat them dry first to avoid excess moisture, but the texture may be softer.

Can I prepare this dish in advance?

You can mix the Brussels sprouts with the sauce ahead of time and refrigerate for a few hours, but roasting is best done just before serving to retain crispness and flavor.
