Recipe Ingredients
- BRUSSEL SPROUTS: Look for the smaller fresh brussel sprouts at your grocery store. They’re about an inch wide and can usually be found in a bag in the produce section! These will get chopped in half and make for the perfect bite size.
- BROCCOLI: Two heads of fresh broccoli are chopped into bite-size pieces and used in this recipe. The fresh broccoli crisps up in the oven and adds some extra flavor and texture to the dish that frozen broccoli just can’t do.
- OLIVE OIL: The veggies get coated in olive oil, which makes them nice and crispy and keeps them from sticking to the sheet pan!
- SALT AND PEPPER: Salt and pepper are added to help balance and enhance the flavor of the broccoli and brussels sprouts.
- GARLIC POWDER: The garlic powder gives the broccoli and brussels sprouts all the flavor they need, especially paired with the parmesan cheese; it’s like a match made in heaven!
- PARMESAN CHEESE: Who else could put parmesan cheese on basically anything? It’s life-changing on veggies, and once you do it once, you’ll be putting parm on all your veggies! Sprinkle on as much as you’d like; there are no limits!

Expert Tips
- Use fresh veggies. Fresh vegetables make all the difference! Frozen veggies maintain more water retention, and when roasted, they tend to become more soggy than crispy.
- Wash your veggies. This is a must! Fresh veggies come from the ground!! Even if the package on those brussel sprouts says pre-washed, give it an extra rinse just encase.
- Chop your vegetables into small pieces. I don't know about you, but I think everything bite-size tastes better and makes eating so much easier and more enjoyable.
- Flip the vegetables halfway through cooking. There are many mistakes in roasting vegetables; one is forgetting to flip the vegetables during cooking. Flipping these sheet pan broccoli and brussel sprouts will ensure they are evenly cooked and crispy on all sides!
- Serve right away. After roasting the broccoli and brussels sprouts, these veggies will only stay crispy and warm for so long, so aim to serve them right away. They’re best eaten the first day but can be reheated in the oven the next day to rewarm and crisp them up again.
Recipe FAQ’s
You’ll want to make sure you’re roasting the veggies on a large pan and that they’re not overcrowded or overlapping each other.
No, if you want crispy roasted veggies, keep them uncovered; otherwise, you will be steaming them and they will be soft and not crispy.
Leftover roasted veggies taste great mixed into rice or made with a bowl of quinoa. You can also reheat them and eat them as a side dish again.
It should only take about 5 -10 minutes in the oven for 5-10 minutes at 375° F.

- Carrots: Carrots add a beautiful orange color that looks beautiful paired with broccoli and/or brussel sprouts. They also complement other vegetables with a subtly sweet flavor and help balance the dish.
- Potatoes: Make life easier by roasting your potatoes with your broccoli and/or brussel spouts instead of making some potatoes on the side another way! You may need to cook everything for about 5-10 minutes longer. The potatoes will be ready when you can easily poke a fork through!
