Easy Browned Butter Sauce

Browned butter is so delicious and so easy to make. I know that once you taste it, you will find many other good ways to serve up browned butter with vegetables or even on bread.

To make browned butter, place butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Swirl the pan occasionally to make sure the butter cooks evenly. As the butter begins to melt it will foam.

The color of the butter will change. It will go from the familiar yellow to tan, and to brown. While it is changing color, it will become fragrant. Remove it from the stove and pour the butter into a heatproof dish.

When you pour the butter from the pan into the dish, you will notice some solids at the bottom of the pot. Try to pour only the liquid part leaving as many solids as you can. You can pour it through a strainer to remove the solids.

This is the sauce you will drizzle over roasted Brussel sprouts.

        I had Red Lobster Brussel Sprouts today and the crunchy topping was like crispy fried onions. They were delicious.

      • Stephanie

        I believe they have recently created a new recipe there, I will have to check it out.

    • Melinda M

      Yes it dried onions like you use with green bean casserole but there is more to this recipe. My guess teriyaki and/of soy sauce – it’s a little sweet tasting but AWESOME! ❤️

        I had those a couple of weeks ago too.OMG they were SO good. I’m trying to find out exactly what the sauce was. I want to make them for Thanksgiving.

      • Stephanie

        I am working on them, but they won’t be ready for thanksgiving 🙁

      My goodness! Red Lobster’s new Brussel sprouts are out of this world. The waitress said that they are steamed, tossed in a soy ginger sauce before placing them in the air fryer. Then they are finished off with the French/fried onions. I generally HATE them with a passion but now I’m craving them. Looking to go back JUST FOR THE BRUSSEL SPROUTS. TRY THEM!!!

      I recently ordered the soy ginger salmon with a side of the brussel sprouts at Red Lobster and it tastes like they do drizzle some of the soy ginger/ teriyaki sauce over the sprouts. The crunchy topping is crushed French fried onion Rings like you put on green bean casseroles. This new version of Brussel sprouts is delicious

      The Brussel Sprouts at Red Lobster are wonderful. Yes, they have a sweet taste and a little crunch but I think the crunch comes from the roasting. All I know is when all of them were gone I wanted to lick the plate.LOL!

        I just had these last week. They had a sweetness to them. Do you know what ingredients made them sweet? This copycat recipe doesn’t call for anything sweet. They were delicious!

      • Stephanie Manley

        So these were their Brussel sprouts from a couple of years ago. I believe they now have a teriyaki sauce over them.

FAQs

Why are my roasted brussel sprouts not crispy? ›

Why Are My Brussel Sprouts Not Crispy? Spread them out into a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet to avoid overcrowding. If they're too close together, they'll steam instead of roast which stops the crisping process.

Do you need to blanch brussel sprouts before roasting? ›

Like all cabbages, Brussels are unavoidably fibrous and dense. You must overcome this by either cooking them in salty water until fork tender (blanching), or by roasting at a high (over 425F) temperature for upwards of 20 minutes. To guarantee great texture, do both!

Are roasted brussel sprouts still healthy? ›

Brussels sprouts make a healthy addition to any diet and are easy to incorporate into side dishes and entrees. People often enjoy them roasted, boiled, sauteed, or baked.

Why do you soak brussel sprouts before cooking? ›

Not only can soaking make the centers more malleable, but the water that's absorbed into them will create a steaming action, whether you choose to roast, saute, or make your Brussels sprouts in your air fryer. The steam can help to ensure the cooking is even throughout the Brussels sprout.

Should brussel sprouts be cut in half before roasting? ›

Place the sprouts cut-side down: Trim and halve the sprouts and roast them with their cut side against the baking sheet. The cut side will caramelize beautifully while the outer leaves crisp. Keep the leaves: Don't discard the outer leaves that fall away as you cut the sprouts.

How do you keep roasted brussel sprouts from getting soggy? ›

If you want your roasted Brussels sprouts to be seriously crispy, you need to crank up the heat. Roasting at a low temperature won't allow them to brown properly, so you want to get that oven nice and hot before tossing in your baking sheet. Follow this tip: Roast Brussels sprouts at a minimum of 400°F.

Why are my oven roasted brussel sprouts mushy? ›

Why are my roasted Brussel sprouts not crispy? Sounds like they got overcrowded on the pan! Whatever you do, don't crowd the pan, or you'll end up with steamed Brussels sprouts instead of roasted. You may need to use two sheet pans!

Is it better to parboil brussel sprouts before roasting? ›

Beyond bitterness, parboiling your sprouts can speed up cooking times, softening the leaves to tender, right down to their core (without turning them to mush) and making it easy for you to focus on perfectly crispy and caramelized sprouts in less time in the oven, sauté pan, or out on the grill.

Why are my roasted brussel sprouts chewy? ›

Like soggy steamed Brussels, Brussels sprouts that are dry and chewy are no good either. This could be caused by using too little oil for roasting. You need a nice coating of oil—enough to make the heads shiny or if they're cut, enough oil to get inside the folds of some of the leaves.

When should I not eat brussel sprouts? ›

Things You Should Know

Throw out fresh brussel sprouts that have a foul odor, yellow or wilted leaves, a mushy or slimy texture, or dark spots. Use fresh brussel sprouts within 1–2 weeks of getting them. Store the brussel sprouts in a plastic bag inside your fridge, and wash them before cooking them.

Why are restaurant brussel sprouts so good? ›

Brussel sprouts are roasted in lots of oil, then topped with pine nuts, Parmesan cheese and honey. It's that sweet, fatty, cheesy combo that makes it taste good!

What's healthier broccoli or brussel sprouts? ›

While broccoli may have a higher count of calories, fat, and carbs, it is richer in calcium, iron, and pantothenic acid (a B vitamin that does wonders for healthy hair), and has a bit more potassium. Brussels sprouts, on the other hand, are lower in sodium.

Should brussel sprouts be dry before roasting? ›

If you want deliciously crispy brussels sprouts, you're already off to a good start with thoroughly drying them after they've been washed. You can achieve savory crispy brussels sprouts whether you're cooking them in the oven or on the stovetop in a pan.

Can you roast brussel sprouts ahead of time and reheat? ›

However, keep in mind that roasted brussels sprouts get a little smelly the older they get. So maybe make these a day ahead of time at most. Reheat in the oven, in a skillet, or in the microwave. The microwave is the fastest but will leave them a bit soggy while the skillet and oven work best for warming.

Why are my Brussels not crispy? ›

Why aren't my Brussels sprouts crispy? Brussels sprouts are 86% water, so steps that keep them from steaming improve their crispness. Skip a silicone mat or parchment paper and roast them uncovered. Use high heat, direct contact with a hot pan and just enough oil to sear the surface without making it soggy.

Why are my brussel sprouts still hard after cooking? ›

Without oil, Brussels don't brown and soften—they dehydrate. Its also possible that they simply need more time in the oven. Cooking times vary depending on their size. A cooked Brussels sprout should be pierced easily with the tip of a sharp knife.

Why are my brussel sprouts not tight? ›

The usual cause is poor soil, lack of growth and especially the use of non-hybrid cultivars. Only hybrid cultivars can be relied on to produce firm sprouts.

How do you crisp soggy brussel sprouts? ›

It's as simple as spreading the leftover Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet (use two to avoid overcrowding if there's a lot) and heating them in a 350°F for 10 to 12 minutes. When the sprouts come out of the oven they'll be hot and crispy all over.
