Brussels Sprouts Burnt

Your Brussels sprouts are burnt on the outside because the heat was too high or the pan was crowded. Trim and re-roast.

The fix

Pin it

Tap a step to check it off.

  1. 1 trim off the darkest leaves and discard
  2. 2 toss with olive oil and lemon juice
  3. 3 roast at 400F for 4 minutes to finish

If it's still wrong

  • shred and saute with bacon or nuts
  • blend into a creamy soup

Prevent next time

  • use a lower temperature and more space
  • cut sprouts evenly

Notes

Why this works

Burnt flavors concentrate in the outer leaves. Trimming and finishing at gentler heat restores a sweeter, nuttier flavor.
