How to Make Red Lobster Brussel Sprouts
As you know, this Red Lobster brussels sprouts recipe is as easy as it gets to make.
And this recipe makes about 4 side dish servings, so if you want to make more, just double or even triple the ingredients.
Anyway, now let's jump into the recipe and make some Red Lobster brussel sprouts!
Step 1: Preparing the Brussels Sprouts
First things first preheat the oven to 400ºF (200°C).
Next, trim the brussel sprouts and remove the hard outer leaves from them.
Then, transfer the trimmed brussels sprouts to a bowl and coat them with olive oil, salt, and pepper. And make sure you cover every brussels sprout with olive oil. Doing so will ensure they crisp up nicely in the oven.
Step 2: Baking the Brussels Sprouts
Next, transfer the prepared brussels sprouts onto a baking sheet.
Then, bake for about 30 minutes or until some of the leaves get browned or blackened and the brussel sprouts are soft.
Step 3: Preparing the Butter
While the brussel sprouts bake, you can brown the butter.
Start by placing the butter in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat, constantly stirring with a wooden spoon - so it doesn't burn.
As soon as the butter starts getting brown - and has a nutty smell - remove it from the heat. You don't want to keep it on the heat longer than this or the butter will burn too much.
Step 4: Serving
After the Brussel sprouts are cooked to perfection, remove them from the oven.
Then, transfer the brussel sprouts to a bowl and drizzle them with the browned butter. Give them a little mix, serve and enjoy!
How to Store Brussels Sprouts
As I mentioned earlier, this Red Lobster brussel sprouts recipe will make about 4 servings if you're eating it as a side. So if you're serving them for a family dinner, you may not have any leftover.
But, if you do, these brussel spouts store super well and taste great leftover.
To store, let them cool completely and then transfer to an airtight container and keep in the fridge for about 4 days.
How to Reheat Crispy Brussels Sprouts
To reheat these Red Lobster Brussel sprouts, I recommend you use the oven or an air fryer. First, preheat the oven - or air fryer - to 400°F, and cook the brussels for about 5 minutes.
You can also reheat them in the microwave, but they might not get as crispy as before. In the microwave, heat them in 30-second increments until they are hot.
