FAQ’s

Do You Have To Boil Brussels Sprouts Before Roasting Them?

No. There is no need to boil Brussels sprouts before roasting them, however some people prefer to parboil them for just a couple minutes before draining and roasting.

Why Are My Brussels Sprouts Mushy?

Cooking methods like steaming and boiling will result in mushy Brussels sprouts. If roasted Brussels sprouts turn out mushy, they have likely been over-cooked. 

What Is The Best Temperature For Roasting Vegetables?

Roasting is probably the best way to cook frozen Brussels sprouts, however, fresh is always best for texture and flavor.
