39 BEST Side Dishes To Serve With Brussels Sprouts

You’ve come to the correct spot if you’re wondering what to serve with your brussels sprouts.

In this post, I present 39 of the most popular brussels sprouts side dishes.

In a rush? Heres the short answer.

Pan-seared gnocchi, cheesy polenta, parmesan and gruyere potato gratin, mushroom rice, and soba noodle salad are the greatest foods to serve with brussels sprouts. Prosciutto-wrapped chicken, skillet bourbon steak, maple glazed ham, or osso buco are all meat-based alternatives.

Ready? Lets get started!

Maple glazed ham

This show-stopping maple glazed ham will wow your holiday dinner guests.

The glaze caramelizes on the ham, imparting a sweet taste, and there’s also enough vinegar in there to lend some sharpness.

Remember to glaze all of the ham’s nooks and crevices for additional flavor.

Why we love it: it’s the ideal centerpiece for a memorable supper.

Parmesan and gruyere potato gratin

Have you already decided on the meat and are searching for another side to pair with the brussels sprouts?

Try a potato gratin.

Thin potato slices are drowned in a creamy garlicky sauce and topped with two types of cheese, gruyere and parmesan.

This gives your meal a stunning, golden finish that is absolutely enticing.

Why we love this recipe: its Insta-worthy!

Pan-seared gnocchi in browned butter sage sauce

The pan-seared gnocchi with browned butter sage sauce is a simple yet lovely combination.

The crisp surface of the gnocchi contrasts with the soft, pillowy insides.

And brussel sprouts give a new texture as well as an earthy taste to complement the nutty brown butter.

Why we like it: it’s simple enough for a weekday supper yet elegant enough for a dinner gathering.

Skillet bourbon steak

I like seared steaks just as much as the next person, and this bourbon steak is the way to go if you want something a little more interesting.

The steaks are rubbed with mustard before being seared in butter and topped with a sweet, sticky bourbon sauce in this meal.

A side of brussels sprouts is all you need to round off your steak supper.

This dish is one of our favorites because it looks and tastes like it belongs in a five-star restaurant.

Bibimbap

At its heart, this traditional Korean cuisine is just a rice bowl with marinated pork, sautéed vegetables, and a distinctive runny fried egg.

The hot bibimbap sauce that you add in, though, helps it stand out.

Adding brussels sprouts to the mix gives the meal a distinct fall flavor.

Why we like this recipe: you can make it as you want.

Prepare to be astounded when you slice into the chicken. Under the crunchy prosciutto comes succulent meat with a delicious, herby cheese filling.

If you don’t have any prosciutto, bacon is a fantastic replacement.

Why we like this recipe: it seems to have come from a professional kitchen.

Cheesy polenta

Pair your roasted brussels sprouts with a basic polenta to make them the focus of a vegetarian supper.

This thick, porridge-like dish is loaded with cheese and cream, making it rich and delicious.

To add some heat, I like to throw sriracha brussels sprouts on top (along with some other winter vegetables).

Why we like this recipe: everything is made in one pot.

Osso buco

If you want to go all out, make some osso buco.

It’s a traditional Italian meal with slow-cooked beef in a delicious tomato sauce.

It’s typically cooked with veal, but beef is a wonderful substitute; it’ll offer you a meatier stew and bone marrow as an added bonus.

You may add some sprouts to the stew or serve a brussels sprout salad as a side dish.

Why we love it: it’s pure comfort in a bowl.

Baked mushroom rice

Pasta is never served plain, therefore I’m not sure why rice is usually served plain!

Instead of boring white rice, try this baked mushroom rice.

As the mushrooms bake, their juices seep into the rice, infusing each grain with a delightful umami taste.

Why we like this dish is that it needs no hands-on cooking.

Soba noodle salad

You’re missing out if you haven’t tasted soba noodles yet.

The noodles have a nutty flavor that complements Asian dishes nicely. The salad is served with torogashi flavored sprouts in this dish.

Have you ever tried torogashi? It contains chile, sesame seeds, citrus, and nori. YUM!

Why we love this recipe: its great fusion food.

Chicken fettuccine alfredo

Fettuccine alfredo is popular for its ease of preparation; all you need is cream, butter, and parmesan cheese to make a smooth, delicious sauce.

The golden pan-fried chicken makes this a full dinner, but pan-roasted brussels sprouts give a nutritious boost as well.

Why we like this recipe: it’s a terrific dinner to make for a date night.

Honey dijon salmon

The oven does all of the work in this recipe; all you have to do is prepare your salmon with a simple honey-dijon sauce and bake it.

After 25 minutes, you’ll have delightfully juicy and flaky salmon.

The salmon’s light pink will look stunning next to some bright green sprouts!

Why we love this recipe: you can roast the salmon and brussels sprouts on the same sheet pan for a great and quick sheet-pan supper.

Cheese and caramelized onion quiche

Outside of supper, brussel sprouts are seldom seen.

What’s gonna stop you from eating them for brunch instead?

Because the recipe calls for a mellow, nutty alpine-style cheese, the quiche filling is rather rich, so I’d serve it with some lemony sprouts to help cut the richness.

Why we like this recipe: it’s a full recipe with pictures to guide you through the process.
