Have you ever had brussels sprouts on the grill?

We’ve become a little bit obsessed ever since we first made them a few years ago. Tony now makes them at least twice a week to pair with chicken sausages, my honey mustard chicken, or salmon. We just can’t get enough and always seem to be coming back to this simple, yet oddly addicting dish, so a few years back I figured, why not put it on the blog?

These grilled brussels sprouts are tender and caramelized, perfect for pairing with my garlic fingerling potatoes (that you can also grill!), and make the best healthy side dish during the summer when you don’t feel like turning on your oven.

Easy grilled brussels sprouts ingredients

You literally only need 6 simple ingredients to make this foil pack grilled brussels sprouts:

Brussels sprouts: of course, because that’s what we’re grilling up!
Yellow onion: for an extra veggie and boost of flavor.
Olive oil: to coat the onion and brussels sprouts well.
Spices: we’re just using garlic powder, salt & pepper in this recipe. Simple, yet incredibly flavorful!

How to grill brussels sprouts in foil

We’re using a foil pack method to make these easy grilled brussels sprouts. It’s truly a game-changer!

Prep your sprouts. First, preheat your grill to 400 degrees. Wash your brussels sprouts and pat them dry.
Season them up. Next, place your brussels and onion slices in a large bowl, then drizzle them with olive oil, garlic powder and salt and pepper.
Make your foil pack. Add the brussels onto a large piece of foil, then add another large piece of foil on top. Seal the edges by folding a piece of foil together. Use a fork or knife to poke a hole at the top of the foil to allow some steam to escape.
Grill & devour. Place the foil pack over direct heat on the preheated grill and grill for approximately 20-25 minutes. Serve immediately, adding more salt and pepper if necessary.

Feel free to double the recipe and make two separate foil packs to serve four people.

Why use a foil pack to grill brussels sprouts?

It prevents the brussels sprouts from falling through the grill grates (phew)
A foil pack also holds in all of the spices and oil so none of it spill through the grates
Using a sealed foil pack with holes poked in the top helps to evenly cook the brussels sprouts all the way through without them getting mushy from the steam.

Customize your grilled brussels sprouts

I love keeping the brussels sprouts simple with garlic powder, salt & pepper, but feel free to make them your own!

Add your favorite spices and seasonings like chili powder & cayenne pepper for a kick of heat, balsamic, rosemary & thyme for and herby flavor, or even maple syrup, garlic and cinnamon for a sweet & savory combo.
Add some chopped bacon or pancetta for an even more savory flavor.
Toss in some extra veggies like carrots, red onion, bell pepper or asparagus. Just be sure to space everything out so that it cooks evenly.

How to store grilled brussels sprouts

If you have any brussels sprouts leftover feel free to store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. To reheat simply place them in the microwave until they’re heated through or toss them on the stovetop.
