These Coconut-Ginger Baked Brussels Sprouts are a delicious Paleo side dish. They are unsweetened and consist of only 5 ingredients!

Brussels sprouts have to be one of my favorite winter vegetables. In my opinion, they are best cooked in the oven. Crisp, well-seasoned and cooked in a little oil is the best way to go!

Ingredients in Coconut-Ginger Baked Brussels Sprouts

Only 5 ingredients are needed to make these brussels sprouts. They are Paleo, Vegan, Whole 30 approved and free of the top 8 allergens.

Brussels Sprouts

Fresh, whole brussels sprouts are used in this recipe. You can either purchase ones in bulk, or buy them in a package. My favorite brand is Good Life Organics, which is sold at Costco.

Coconut Oil

This recipe uses coconut oil for a slightly coconut-y taste. I always purchase organic, unrefined, virgin, cold pressed coconut oil. If you don't have coconut oil on hand, or prefer to use another oil, avocado oil would be the best substitute.

Ground Ginger

Ginger is an amazing spice! Or, at least I love it. Ginger is used to aid digestion, lower inflammation, regulate blood sugar, minimize nausea, improve brain function and of course flavor meals.

This recipe uses dried, ground ginger, rather than raw, fresh ginger. Ginger can be purchased in bulk or by the bottle.

Onion Powder

Onion powder gives this recipe extra flavor. As an alternative, you may substitute with garlic powder.

Salt

When it comes to cooking AND baking, salt is essential (in my opinion). Salt brings out so much flavor. Plus, if you're using a high quality brand, salt provides many trace minerals and helps with insulin sensitivity, hydration, digestion and hormone balance. My number one brand of salt is THIS ONE. I've used it for years and think it has the best flavor of any pink Himalayan salt I've tried. This product is:

solar-evaporated
naturally rich in trace minerals
has a full-bodied flavor
free of excipients, flowing agents and additives
Vegan, Paleo
Non-GMO

Best Way to Cook Brussels Sprouts in the Oven

First off, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.

Next, cut off the ends of the brussels sprouts and remove any wilted or damaged leaves. Then cut them in half.

Put cut brussels sprouts in a medium-sized mixing bowl and drizzle with coconut oil. Mix, making sure the brussels are well coated.

Next, sprinkle on ground ginger, onion powder and salt. Mix until the brussels are fully coated.

Place brussels on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake in the middle rack of your oven at 375 degrees for 20 minutes. Lastly, remove from oven, flip brussels and cook another 10 minutes.

Once done, cool slightly then serve!

Oven baked brussels sprouts are a great side dish for any meal. They can also be eaten alone as a healthy snack. Some of my go-to meals to pair this side with include:

Enjoy!
