Parmesan Truffle Brussels Sprouts Ingredients
Here’s everything you need:

- Salt & pepper. Or steak seasoning.
- Truffle oil.

How to Make Brussels Sprouts with Truffle Oil
How to Prep Fresh Brussels Sprouts for Roasting
Wash your brussels sprouts, by simply adding them to a strainer or sieve and run them under cold water.
Alternatively, you can soak them in a bowl of cold water for a few minutes. This will just help to remove any dirt or dust, or if they arenโt organic, any pesticides or residual fertilizers that may be left on the brussels sprouts.
Then, cut off the very tip on the stem side to remove the rough end and slice them in half lengthwise. Simple as that!
The brussels sprouts tips can be saved with other veggie scraps to make your own vegetable broth, or they can be composted.
Season and Coat Your Sprouts
Spread your prepped sprouts on a baking sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle on the salt, pepper, and olive oil.
Then, use clean hands to toss so that all of the brussels sprouts are evenly coated.
How to Perfectly Roast Brussels Sprouts
Make sure your oven is preheated to 425ยฐF. Roast the brussels sprouts on the top rack for 15-20 minutes until they start to brown and feel crispy to touch.
If you want the most even roast, you can toss them halfway through. I honestly don’t always do this, especially if I’m multitasking in the kitchen, but it definitely doesn’t hurt!
Add the Truffle Oil and Parmesan JUST Before Serving
Truffle oil is a finishing oil. If you heat it too much it not only looses its flavor but can sometimes even become bitter.
That’s why we roast the brussels sprouts in the olive oil and then just finish it off with the truffle oil.
Once you get the brussels sprouts crispy, the goal is to keep them that way! Add the truffle oil and Parmesan just before serving.
How to Properly Store and Reheat Truffled Brussels Sprouts
These Roasted Truffled Brussels Sprouts will last in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. They can also be frozen for up to a year.
To thaw them, transfer the brussels sprouts from the freezer to the refrigerator about 24 hours beforehand.
To reheat these leftovers, bring your oven up to 350ยฐF and roast them again as is (no need to add any extra oil or seasonings) for 8-10 minutes until heated through. Add a splash of extra truffle oil and Parmesan once they’re hot.
