Buffalo Brussels Sprouts with Crumbled Blue Cheese
These Brussels sprouts start out in the skillet and get finished in the oven for perfectly charred edges, then they are drizzled with hot sauce and crumbled blue cheese – SO good!!
This idea was inspired by someone who commented on a recent Brussels sprout recipe I shared on Facebook and I thought, brilliant! They did not disappoint and they are super quick and easy to make. Great as a side for chicken, steaks or pork chops.
Buffalo Brussels Sprouts with Crumbled Blue Cheese
These brussels sprouts start out in the skillet and get finished in the oven for perfectly charred edges, then they are drizzled with hot sauce and crumbled blue cheese – SO good!!
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 1/4 cup Franks Hot Sauce
- 2 tbsp crumbled blue cheese, for topping
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Heat an oven-safe nonstick 12-inch sauté pan over medium-high heat and add olive oil and brussels sprouts in one layer and let cook undisturbed for about 3 minutes until beginning to caramelize. Turn occasionally for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden all over.
- Transfer to the oven and roast for 8-10 minutes, until softened a bit but still slightly al dente. Drizzle with hot sauce, toss and top with crumbled blue cheese.

Can you use frozen sprouts? If so, what the best way to halve them? Thaw and halve or bake and halve?
I think fresh would taste best.
I just bought some brussels sprouts at the grocery store yesterday and didn’t have a plan for them. Now I do! Thanks!
This looks absolutely amazing! I love Franks Hot sauce and brussels sprouts. Do you have an entree you recommend with this?
Thanks!
what can i substitute hot sauce with?
Winner, Winner! Brussel Sprouts with dinner. Happened to have all the ingredients on hand! OMG, Gina. I had to give myself extra points on this one. I couldn’t stop eating them.
Glad you enjoyed them Alma!
Can you prepare these in advance?
Sure but I think they are best eaten out of the oven.
GIVE ME ALL THE BRUSSELS!
YUM! This looks like an easy doable meal that’s a perfect side <3
THis is on the menu tonight. I’m also wondering if you use Gochujang.. Korean chili sauce. It’s my new fav.
I bet it would be delish!
I love Frank’s Hot Sauce but equally love the Frank’s Buffalo Sauce. Do you think using that instead of the original Frank’s would make a big difference? I do think the Buffalo sauce is appreciably spicier, but I absolutely can’t get enough of it.
You should check the label, it may change the fat.
This is on the menu for tonite!
Hi, could someone tell me the ingredients of the sauce to give me an idea of a substitute that I can use. We don’t have Franks Hot Sauce in Australia. Thank you.
Cayenne pepper sauce would work.
Hey Ann
I’m from Wollongong (NSW, just a bit south of Sydney) and they definitely stock Franks Hot Sauce in our local Coles. You might have to ask, but it’s definitely something we can get ;).
Have a good one!
Any cayenne pepper sauce will work.
The recipe is so simple and easy to make. These buffalo brussels sprouts with crumbled blue cheese looks extremely tasty. Can’t wait. I am going to try this recipe in morning for my spouse.
We are not a fan of blue cheese. Substitute?
lOVE your recipes! Been using them for years. I tell everyone to check out your website!
Thank -you!
gorgonzola? feta? probably any pungent salty cheese would work well
saw this recipe today while searching another recipe. It looked so good I had to try it! It was even better then I thought! Delicious, in fact. No leftovers at all and scraped the bottom of the pan. An immediate favorite!
I love this one too!
These were so good! My husband said that the Frank’s Hot Sauce made it “curiously pleasing”! (He said he would never think of putting that together with blue cheese and was pleasantly surprised.) This is a keeper!
I would have never thought Brussels would be good done buffalo but this recipe was really good! For those of you that don’t like blue cheese Gina had a nice recipe for ranch dressing that would be a great substitute drizzled on.
You never steer me wrong, Gina! Had these tonight with your mustard herb crusted chicken. My husband is not into brussels sprouts but I like to mix it up with different veggies occasionally. So when they’re on the menu, we’ve gotta do something good with them. I previously made him sprouts with bacon and cheese and he loved it. He said this topped that. Topped bacon and cheese!!! That says a lot. We both loved this. He said it’s the only way he’ll eat brussels sprouts from now on. I just wish they didn’t have so much sodium, but that’s Frank’s red hot for you. I guess it’s ok for an occasional dish 🙂
I made this Sunday night, with Texas Pete instead of Frank’s (they’re both pretty similar in taste; I just buy Texas Pete out of habit)… and they were amazing. I just plopped them in a bowl, and it was my dinner. I’ll be doing this again. Soon.
So glad you enjoyed it!
These are amazing! I’ve made them twice now since finding this recipe last week. Tonight I decided to make this my main dish -cooking for one, so while the sprouts were in the oven, I put some frozen chicken breast strips in the frying pan. I added them to the dish before drizzling with hot sauce and voila! I have a main dish. Soooo good! Thanks for all the amazing recipes Gina.
Scrumptious!! My husband and I loved every bite!
although we both love “spicy” food, we found Franks hot sauce was way too hot! next time will try Framks buffalo sauce instead
If you’re not a big fan of blue cheese … what should you substitute?
Love your site and all your recipes, by the way!
I thought this was good but not great. I rarely dislike a skinnytaste recipe but this was not our favorite. All I really tasted was hot sauce.
These were SO good!! I’m not a blue cheese fan so we used goat cheese and we felt like we were having a treat!! Delicious!
I’m obsessed with these, always make them! I always use fresh sprouts but they didn’t have any last time I went shopping so I bought frozen. I thawed then overnight. Do you think I should skip the pan fry part and just roast? Or follow the recipe as is?
Never used frozen, should work.
Gina,
Can I just say that I LOVE to cook and I have every cookbook.. Your cookbooks are, by far, my favorite and my “go to” cookbooks for fast, easy, healthy and taste! You are doing such a great job! I admire you girl! You are very talented! I look forward to every new recipe you post. Xo Dana
Thank you Dana, that means a lot to me!
When you first posted this recipe, it sounded really unappealing to me. But my friends ordered buffalo sprouts in a bar and they were super good. So I follow this recipe for the Super Bowl last night and it was AMAZING! Great way of getting some greens but still indulging in the Super Bowl flavors.
🙂
I made this tonight, and it was really, really great! It seems as if it might not be, but the flavors, especially the charred brussels sprouts, go together really well. If you’re on the fence and like buffalo stuff, try it! (We are vegetarians, so it’s nice to have something that tastes like something from our “past life.” ha ha.)
Absolutely FANTASTIC! Thank you, Gina!!!
You’re welcome Karen!
Can’t wait to try these tonight! We don’t have a pan that can go in the oven…do you think I could do the stove top then place them in a glass dish for the oven portion??
Sure
A must try. ALWAYS looking for creative ways to use Brussels sprouts. Thank you!
