Spicy Brussels Sprout Chips
If you’re a fan of kale chips, you’ll love these Brussels sprout chips! They’re crunchy and spicy, making them the perfect snack. Did I mention they’re healthy?
I recently received Laura Miller’s Raw. Vegan. Not Gross. cookbook and I couldn’t wait to flip through it. I always enjoyed watching her Snapchat videos on the Tastemade channel so I was excited to try some of her recipes! I love how the cookbook is written and the photos are gorgeous. One of the recipes that caught my eye was these Spicy Brussels Sprout Chips.
How to Make Brussels Sprout Chips
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees.
Peel all the leaves off of each Brussels sprout. It helps a bit to trim the ends off first and peel the layers off.
Gently toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil and spices. Then spread into a single layer and bake for 15-20 minutes until they’re brown and crispy.
Tips for Making Brussels Sprout Chips
Be sure to keep the oven at 250 degrees. This is usually the lowest setting possible. The low and slow cooking helps dry out the Brussels sprouts so they dehydrate while baking. This gives you crispy chips!
Misting the Brussels sprouts with olive oil is a great way to get an even coating with minimal oil. You can either buy olive oil spray or transfer olive oil into a spray bottle like this one.

Description
If you’re a fan of kale chips, you’ll love these Brussels sprout chips! They’re crunchy and spicy, making them the perfect snack. Did I mention they’re healthy?
Ingredients
- 1lb Brussels sprouts
- 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (less if you don’t like spice)
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250.
- Peel all the leaves off of each Brussels sprout. It helps a bit to trim the ends off first and peel the layers off. It’s a bit time intensive but it’s not too bad!
- Toss with olive oil and spices. I just stirred mine up in a big bowl.
- Spread in a single layer and bake for 15-20 minutes until they’re brown and crispy.
- They will shrink up, so when you take them out of the oven, it’ll be a smaller pile than you started with!
I loved how spicy these were. My friend Alexa and I snacked on them one afternoon and it was nice to have a snack we didn’t have to feel guilty about. It’s all healthy ingredients! These little chips are the perfect snack if you like a spicy, salty crunch!
If you prefer cheesy over spicy, try these vegan kale chips! They’re another deliciously crunchy snack!
What a brilliant idea!
I tried the recipe, but 250 seemed too low. After 15 minutes, the sprouts were super wet and soft, not at all crispy, and my oven usually runs a little hot. I ended up broiling them for a few minutes to get them crispy. Anyone else experience this?
It does take a long time on a low setting because you’re basically trying to dehydrate them. A higher setting can work if you want to brown them but the lower setting will work more like a dehydrator. Maybe leaving them in longer would work? Hope you still enjoyed them!
This is such a great idea! I used to hate Brussels sprouts as a kid but now I’m making up for all I’ve missed 😀
