Whole roasted Brussels sprouts are a simple way to create an eye-popping presentation. Especially since most people have never seen Brussels sprouts still on the stalk. Roasting Brussels sprouts on the stalk doesn't take much more effort than tossing a whole stalk into a hot oven.
Use a small pastry brush to paint the sauce onto the sprouts, making sure to get in all the nooks and crannies. Make sure to save enough of the sauce for another quick coat when the sprouts come out of the oven.
Roast the sprouts on a baking sheet, in a 400℉ oven for 25 to 30 minutes, rotating the stalk halfway through.
When the Brussels sprouts are finished roasting, take them out of the oven and give them a quick brush with the sauce and a small sprinkle of salt. Let the sprouts rest for a minute or two before serving.
To serve use a pair of kitchen shears or sharp knife to cut the sprouts off the stalk.
Serving Brussels sprouts on the stalk is a great presentation piece for a dinner party or special occasion.
Notes
Depending on the size of a stalk there usually are enough sprouts to feed two to four people as a side dish on each stalk.
