Crispy Brussels sprouts chips lightly seasoned with a pinch of salt and lemon pepper. Quick to make and healthy, these Brussels sprouts chips will be the perfect snack to stave off your late afternoon hunger pangs.
After a weekend filled lots of heavy food, I decided that I wanted lighter food for the next week or so.
Which means we’re going to talk about snacking.
I’m a huge fan of snacking because it means that I can eat many different types of food in one sitting rather than just one meal.
It’s the same reason why I love buffets. I do realize that the food at most buffets are not the best quality, but I love that I can have a little of everything. I don’t have to pick just one dish on the menu. If I want a piece of that California roll, I’ll put it on my plate. If I want a little bit of that fried rice, I’ll scoop a spoonful and place it on my plate next to that California roll. Teriyaki chicken? Let’s put it next to the fried rice. Oooh, there’s that clam chowder I’ve been craving. I’ll have that too.
My parents and relatives hate buffets because they think it’s a waste of money. They feel they can never eat enough to cover the cost that they paid for that meal. Which is true. Unless you’re eating seafood and steaks all night, you’re probably eating less than your money’s worth. But I love buffets because I think it’s a fun experience. Not only can eat whatever catches my eye, it’s a fun place to catch up with friends.
It’s the same with sampling events (i.e. with Yelp) where restaurants serve their food in sample size portions. A sample cup here, a fourth of a sandwich there. I love it.
Enough of me rambling about buffets and sampling events.
Let’s talk about this amazing healthy snack, Brussels sprouts chips.
Okay, so in my Warm Autumn Brussels Sprouts Salad post, I found out that many people didn’t like Brussels Sprouts. Sorries. You won’t like this one either then.
Or maybe you will. Because my cousin hates Brussels sprouts but my chips disappeared.
These are healthy and delicious with just the slightest hint of lemon. They’re also crispy so it’s perfect for guiltless snacking.
I’d love to share this with my friends at Fiesta Friday.
Preheat the oven to 350F.
Cover a baking sheet with foil and lightly grease the surface with nonstick cooking spray or olive oil.
Remove the leaves until you reach close to the center. Make sure to wash the Brussels sprouts well since sometimes dirt clings to them and dry the leaves.
You can either chop the heart of the Brussels sprouts in half and roast them with the chips, or you can save them for another dish.
Rub olive oil into the leaves to help them crisp, and place them onto the baking sheet.
Sprinkle lemon pepper and salt over the Brussels sprouts.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the Brussels sprouts for about 10-15 minutes until they appear crispy and golden brown on the outer edges. Depending on the thickness of the leaves, some may bake faster than others. Remove the browned ones first before continuing to bake the rest.
Enjoy!

Interesting! I had Brussel sprouts at our Thanksgiving dinner, and they were good. We’ll have to try your recipe.
I hope you’ll like it!
Oh, I can’t wait to try these! Thank you!
Hope you’ll like it, Kristy!
What a great idea. We love Brussels Sprouts and always look forward to the ones that “fall off”, they’re nice and crunchy. Never thought to make chips! I need to try this soon. Thanks for the idea!
I hope you’ll like these brussels sprouts chips, Amanda! =)
Yum! I love Brussel sprouts
Hope you’ll like this version, Jamie!
Oh yes you do- I found it.
I am not a brussel sprout fan. BTW, yYu don’t have a ‘like’ feature attached to this blog?
It’s okay, Francesca. lol. I know a lot of people don’t like it =)
Beautiful recipe and photo’s – as always. But I just don’t like Brussels sprouts…
Made your roasted asparagus with Hoisin sauce btw; they’re awesome!
It’s okay that you don’t like brussels sprouts. It’s just my latest obsession. That, and butternut squash. I’m so glad to hear that you like the roasted asparagus! Thanks for trying it!
I agree, a “healthy snack diet” is much needed after this weekend! Brussel sprouts would be perfectt to help detox the body
I hope you’ll like these brussels sprouts chips! =)
Brussel sprout chips are one of my favorite healthy snacks! And I totally hear you on the buffet front. I NEVER get my money’s worth, EVER. Especially since I’ve become vegetarian–that’s just a deal-killer in my family’s book, so they try to avoid taking me nowadays. But there’s something just so fun about serving yourself and eating as much (or little) as you want! I love Sweet Tomato so much =)
I’m a huge fan of Sweet Tomato too. Especially since it’s all salads. I won’t feel guilty from consuming so much afterwards. lol. I’ve been so preoccupied with life that I’m soo behind in answering comments and commenting on blog posts! I’ll stop by your blog soon, Ala! lol
These look delicious – thanks!
Thanks, Georgie!
