See that bag up there? That is a bag of Mann's Family Favorites Brussels Sprouts, and it makes my kitchen life SO EASY! So easy that it's totally worth the all caps yelling.
Brussels can be a little bit of a pain to prepare as you need to go through them one by one, cut off their tough ends, and trim off their outer leaves. EXCEPT if you're using Mann's Family Favorites Brussels Sprouts. Then all you have to do is open the bag and pour out your brussels. So easy!
This time of year always feels hectic. Is it the same for you? It's the time of year when every little convenience becomes more important than ever. If I can save 15 minutes of washing and cutting veggies, I'm in.
That time saved will be well used playing with my daughter, hanging out with my handsome man, pouring myself a glass of wine, or relaxing. Ok, that might be a bit idyllic. Doing laundry, washing dishes, and picking up toys paints a more realistic picture. #truth
But either way, picking up a bag of prewashed and cut Mann's veggies means that I get more time to do the things I need or want to do. It's like winning the lottery.
I've used Mann's pre-cut veggies many times, both in recipes here on the blog and when I'm strapped for time at home. I buy them at my local grocery store. They're widely available so chances are, your life will get a whole lot easier very soon!
When you're at the store, eye out which other Mann's vegetables are available. I have several recipes using Mann's Fresh Vegetables and more on the way.

Serve garlic roasted brussels sprouts for the holidays
Whole roasted brussels sprouts with garlic are the PERFECT side dish for your holiday table. Bonus: they can be made ahead of time.
If you're making them for Thanksgiving or Christmas, cook them ahead of time for 30 minutes then take them out of the oven. Let them cool, cover the pan with plastic wrap, then put them in your fridge. When the turkey comes out of the oven, remove the plastic wrap and put them back into the oven to warm and finish cooking.
By the time the turkey rests for 15 minutes, your brussels will be ready to go!
Make roasted garlic brussels for dinner
My favorite way to serve these brussels is with chicken and a big salad. It ticks all the boxes for me: easy to make, healthy, and delicious. You could easily sub a piece of salmon or even some tofu.
I simply season some chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and whatever spice blend I find in my spice rack then put them on the tray with the brussels after 15 minutes.
If I'm extra hungry, I'll throw some mini potatoes (cut in half) on the tray with the brussels when they go into the oven. They'll cook in the same amount of time. Easy!
Make a super simple salad (or pick one of Mann's Nourish Bowls or a Veggie Slaw) and you've just made yourself a crazy easy and crazy delicious dinner. Win!!

I love one pot meals especially when it’s my wok. Easy peasy and my family will love all the flavors. Great recipe. I can’t wait to make it for my family!
One pot is the best isn’t it?
Super tasty! I followed the recipe for Greek Lemon Potatoes and then added brussels sprouts when I was about halfway finished cooking the potatoes. I will definitely make this recipe again!
That’s wonderful to hear!
I made these for Christmas dinner and everyone raved about them. I cooked them half way then finished them after the turkey. Will make them again!
I’m so happy to hear they were a hit!
I made these today, trying out the recipe before Christmas since everyone is expecting me to bring the Brussels sprouts. This recipe looked easy and good. The good thing about this recipe is that these are certainly the easiest Brussels sprouts i’ve made. They were tender all the way through at 40 minutes and were appropriately charred, not too black.
I would also say, if you do not have a winner recipe for Brussels sprouts, this one would surely work, with one exception. I found that after squeezing on the roasted lemon, that made the sprouts taste like fish! So I would likely not add that next time. And they needed more salt, quite a bit more salt.
There is a Brussels sprouts recipe from America’s test kitchen that I use. It does take more time but it is the best. A lot can be done ahead of time but if you want the best Brussels sprouts, that would be my recommendation. Even the little kids happily gobble them up and ask for more.
I’ve definitely never experienced that before! Not sure what happened with your brussels or lemon. 🙂
Hi Kristen! I love your blog!
Can I use frozen Brussels sprouts?
Awww thanks Mel! I wish I could tell you but I’ve never cooked with frozen brussels before so I don’t know how they cook. I’m sorry!
I’m cooking them with frozen sprouts right now. I imagine it will loose something, but heck, the roasted garlic will make up for it, I’m sure! I can’t wait to try the recipe with fresh sprouts!
How did it turn out with frozen brussels?
I love brussel sprouts! These look absolutely amazing! love your blog and thank you for sharing this recipe!
Thank you so much! I hope you love them as much as I do!
