Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Description
This recipe for Roasted Brussels Sprouts starts by trimming and halving the sprouts, removing outer leaves and tough ends. They are tossed with olive oil and seasoned with salt and black pepper before being spread cut side down on a baking sheet. The oven is set to a high 425 degrees Fahrenheit to encourage browning and caramelization in about 20-25 minutes. Additional turning and baking can deepen the color and tenderness according to preference.
Roasting at high heat transforms the Brussels sprouts from a firm, slightly bitter vegetable to a tender yet crisp dish with browned edges and a sweeter, nutty flavor. The olive oil adds richness and aids in browning, while salt and pepper enhance the natural vegetable taste.
These roasted sprouts can be served as a warm side for poultry, pork, or beef or added to bowls and salads. They pair well with acidic or creamy dressings for balance and can be customized with additional spices or toppings in other applications.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Wash brussels sprouts, peel outer (dirty) leaves and trim bottoms. Discard these extra leaves and pieces. Halve clean brussels sprouts and place onto a baking sheet.
- Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat thoroughly and turn all pieces to be cut side down.
- Bake 20-25 minutes, or until brown and tender to your liking. (I turn mine after 20 minutes and bake another 5-10.)
