This 1-minute-prep roasted Brussels sprouts recipe tosses halved sprouts with melted vegan butter, salt, and pepper, then roasts until browned and tender. Vegan butter is a dairy-free spread made from plant oils that melts and coats vegetables like dairy butter.
The one minute covers trimming, halving, and seasoning. The oven does the rest while you work on a main dish. It suits weeknight cooking and small-batch meal prep.

What does 1-minute mean here?
Spend the minute on active work only. Rinse the sprouts, trim dry stem ends, halve them lengthwise, and toss with melted vegan butter and seasoning. Use pre-washed sprouts to stay within the minute.
Roasting still needs oven time to brown the cut sides and soften the centers. Plan the minute of prep first, then let heat finish the texture. This split keeps the recipe fast without rushing the cooking.
How do you prep and season?
Choose firm, bright green sprouts with tight leaves. Discard loose or yellowed outer leaves.
Cut each sprout in half through the stem so the layers stay attached. Melt the vegan butter just until fluid, then toss to coat lightly. Too much fat softens the leaves instead of crisping them.

How do you get crisp roasted edges?
Use a hot oven and a heavy sheet pan. Heat browns the flat cut side through direct contact. Space the halves apart so steam escapes. Place them cut-side down in a single layer.
Roast until the outer leaves darken at the edges and a knife slips easily into the stem end. Flip one sprout to check color before removing the pan. Small sprouts cook faster and turn sweeter. Large halves may need a few extra minutes. Keep the pieces similar in size for even browning.
How do you serve and store them?
Serve at once for the best contrast between crisp edges and tender centers. They pair well with roasted potatoes, rice bowls, pasta, or baked tofu. Add lemon zest or red pepper flakes for brightness.
For meal prep, cool leftovers quickly and refrigerate in a shallow sealed container. Reheat in a hot skillet or toaster oven to restore some crispness. Microwaving softens the leaves, so use it only when speed matters most.
