How to Make Perfect Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Description
How to Make Perfect Roasted Brussels Sprouts guides you through preparing this vegetable by trimming and halving each sprout before coating them with olive oil and seasoning. Roasting at 450°F allows the sprouts to develop a crisp, golden exterior while remaining tender inside. Cooking cut-side down on the baking sheet maximizes caramelization and the roasting time is managed to get the right texture and flavor.
The simple seasoning of salt and pepper enhances the natural taste of the sprouts without overpowering them. This preparation can be served as a side dish for various meals, adding a roasted vegetable option that balances both sweetness and savory notes.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts
- olive oil about 2 tablespoons per pound of sprouts
- salt
- black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Trim the stem side of the Brussels sprouts, and slice each sprout in half lengthwise. Discard any loose outer leaves that fall off.
- Toss the Brussels sprouts with 2 tablespoons of olive oil per pound of sprouts.
- Arrange the sprouts on a baking sheet, cut-sides down, being sure not to overcrowd them. You may need to use multiple baking sheets. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Roast at 450°F for 20 minutes, flipping after the first 15 minutes. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper, and serve.
