How Do You Roast Brussel Sprouts That Are Not Mushy?
To roast Brussel sprouts that are not mushy, preheat the oven to 400°F and make sure the Brussel sprouts are dry. Cut off the tough bottom ends and halve them. Toss the Brussel sprouts in a bowl with olive oil, salt, and pepper until every sprout is well-coated. Spread them in a single layer, cut-side down, on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, until they are tender and caramelized. Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet, which will lead to steaming and mushy Brussel sprouts.
