I eat these like they’re candy. I thought I hated brussel sprouts until my mom made them like this for Thanksgiving a few years back. The browner and crispier they are the better :) Yum.
Ingredients
- brussel sprouts
- kosher or seal salt
- fresh ground pepper
- good olive oil (use something that has a flavor you enjoy –Martinis Kalamata olive oil from Trader Joe’s is a good choice at a great price –it has a really earthy flavor)
Directions
Preheat oven to 425 deg. Prepare brussels by slicing off the base and peeling away any dry or damaged outer leaves. Cut them in half and put in a bowl. Pour a good amount of olive oil over them, sprinkle generously with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Arrange on a sheet pan so that the flat side is facing down. Roast until starting to brown and caramelize (this won’t happen if you’ve skimped on the olive oil), about 10-12 min (depending on the size of your sprouts, which can vary). Just open up the oven and taste one to see if they're done. If not, maybe give them a toss and another minute or two :)
