Warning: My Brussels sprouts came out perfect after 22 minutes at 375, but my wife swears 18 minutes at 400 is the only way to do them

We tried both methods side by side last Sunday and she said mine were too soft while I thought hers were still crunchy in the middle, so which temp and time combo do you all actually use for Brussels sprouts?

Ha! @sean_johnson16, I was team 400 all the way until I tried your method.

22 minutes at 375 is way too long unless you're roasting them in a pool of oil or something. 18 minutes at 400 is the gold standard for getting those crispy outer leaves without turning the inside into mush. But check your oven temp too. Half the time people's ovens run hot or cold so you gotta adjust based on that. I've had to keep an oven thermometer in mine for years because the built in one is always off by like 25 degrees. If you want them softer just toss them in the oil a little heavier and flip them halfway through at 400 instead of dropping the temp.
