How to Cut Brussel Sprouts:

The ends are tough so you want to cut these off before threading them on the skewers. It only takes a few minutes and goes very quickly.

I also like to cut the brussel sprouts in halves instead of leaving them whole. They cook better and it stretches this vegetable to feed my entire family.

Remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves then cut sides lengthwise to from tip to bottom.

Can I Cook Brussel Sprouts in the Oven?

Yes, you can cook this recipe in the oven. Roasting Brussel Sprouts doesn’t take long to do. After you have prepared them, place them on a baking sheet and roast for about 15 minutes.

About half way through the roasting process, shake the pan so that all sides get roasted.

If I am baking in the oven, I do not put them on skewers. I just place them directly on the baking sheet.

Tips for the Perfect Brussel Sprouts:

  • Skewers – Use metal skewers for this recipe as the wood skewers are not strong enough to pierce the Brussel sprouts.  
  • Grill Pan – You can place the Brussel Sprouts on the grill or in a grill pan or grill basket.
  • Fresh Brussel Sprouts – We recommend using fresh Brussel Sprouts when you plan to grill. They hold up better on the grill.
  • Clean and cut – We recommend cutting the Brussel Sprouts in half and removing any colored leaves.
  • Grilled Brussel Sprouts in Foil – Place Brussel Sprouts in foil to cook or on skewers.

Grilled Brussel Sprouts Flavor Variations:

  • Balsamic – Brussel Sprouts drizzled with balsamic is one of my favorites. After they have grilled you can drizzle balsamic over the top for a delicious side dish.
  • Fresh Garlic – We used garlic powder in this recipe, but you can easily use fresh garlic for amazing flavor.
  • Bacon – After grilling this summer side dish, place in a bowl and add some cooked chopped bacon.
  • Lemon Juice – Once the brussel sprouts are finished cooking, drizzle with lemon juice for added flavor.
  • Onion Powder – For added flavor, mix in some onion powder with the other seasoning.
  • Parmesan Cheese – Add parmesan cheese with the other seasoning. You can also sprinkle some over the top after they have grilled.
  • Cook with Vegetables – Feel free to add other vegetables or meats to skewers for a complete meal. Cooking food on skewers is fun to do and the grill cooks the food perfectly.

How to Store Leftovers:

Refrigerate the leftover Brussel sprouts in an airtight container for up to 5 days.  We like to store the grilled brussel sprouts in individual container for a quick side dish to add with our grilled meats.

When you are ready to reheat, we recommend placing the leftover on a foil lined baking sheet. Drizzle some olive oil over the top and season them.

Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven of 350 degrees for about 5 minutes until heated. You can also reheat in the microwave but the texture will change and the brussel sprouts may become mushy.

Easy Side Dish:

Once the warmer weather hits we love to grill out. We usually use our gas grill but we have been loving cooking on our Blackstone. These Grilled Brussel Sprouts are easy to cook and always turn out so flavorful.

If you are looking for an easy side dish, then this is my go-to. My kids even enjoy them because of the smoky flavor from the grill.
