Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Description
This recipe uses fresh Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved for even roasting. The sprouts are coated with olive oil and seasoned with coarse kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and garlic powder, which adds a subtle savory depth without overpowering. Roasting at 400°F caramelizes the edges and softens the centers, creating a pleasing texture contrast.
The roasting process encourages a balance between crispy browned surfaces and tender inner leaves. Stirring the sprouts halfway through cooking promotes even color and prevents burning. The garlic powder and black pepper complement the natural nuttiness of the Brussels sprouts enhanced by roasting.
These roasted sprouts pair well with many main courses as a side dish and offer an easy way to bring out the vegetable's nuanced flavors. Adjusting cooking time based on sprout size allows tailoring tenderness.
Leftovers store well refrigerated in an airtight container for up to four days and reheat nicely, maintaining texture and flavor.
