Roasted Brussels Sprouts

A simple side dish in which the sprouts are slow-roasted in a very hot oven until browned.

Prep: 10 min; Cook: 40 min

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts
• 3 tablespoons good olive oil
• 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Cut off the brown ends of the Brussels sprouts and pull off any yellow outer leaves.
3. Mix them in a bowl with the olive oil, salt and pepper.
4. Spread out on a sheet pan and roast for 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven, stir the sprouts around on the pan and return to the oven.
5. Roast for an additional 15 – 20 minutes, or until crisp on the outside and cooked through (you can test by poking with a fork).
6. Serve immediately.
