At what temperature and how long to roast frozen brussel sprouts in the oven?
In this recipe, I have set the oven temperature as 450 degree Fahrenheit and roasted (baked) the whole frozen brussel sprouts (didn’t slice in halves) for about 25 to 30 minutes until they are lightly browned.
How to know when brussel sprouts are done?
Once they are well roasted, the brussel sprouts will be lightly browned on the outside, as you can see from the pictures.
