These Roasted Brussel Sprouts are golden and caramelized on the edges, but not dried out. They're simple to make, and a great side for many meals!
Ingredients
2lbsbrussel sprouts
1/4cupolive oil
3/4tspsalt*
1/4tspfreshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Trim and halve the brussel sprouts, and place in a large mixing bowl.
Toss the brussel sprouts with the olive oil, salt and pepper, and spread them out on a sheet pan, cut side down.
Roast for 25-30 minutes (it depends on size), until they're tender and have browned and caramelized on the bottom and edges.
If the brussel sprouts are not sufficiently browned on the bottom, place them on the oven floor and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until well-browned. Keep your eye on them so they don't get burned. If you have an electric oven with a coil on the bottom, position a rack right above it and roast.
Serve promptly while warm, and enjoy!
Notes
*Since salts vary in "saltiness," you'll need to learn the perfect amount for your taste. 3/4 tsp is a good starting point, and this is how much I prefer (I use kosher salt). If you're concerned about salt, you can always start with a little bit, then add more at the end.
