Seasoned Brussels Sprouts
Description
Seasoned Brussels Sprouts focus on the natural flavors of this vegetable, enhanced by olive oil and basic seasonings. By trimming and halving larger sprouts, the recipe ensures even roasting and caramelization. Cooking at a high temperature (425°F) for 17 to 25 minutes creates a crisp, browned exterior while maintaining a tender interior. Leaving smaller sprouts whole with a small cut helps them cook evenly.
The flavor is straightforward with the mild bitterness of Brussels sprouts balanced by the savory salt and black pepper, and the olive oil aids in achieving a nicely roasted finish. The cut side down roasting method intensifies browning and flavor.
This side dish pairs well with roasted meats or can be incorporated into a vegetable medley. It is suitable for various meals and can be adjusted by cooking frozen sprouts directly with added time. This flexibility makes it practical for different circumstances.
For alternate cooking, steaming instructions are provided, allowing for a softer texture. Altering the seasoning or cooking method can adapt the sprouts to different preferences.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Trim the bottom off of the brussels sprout and cut in half if they are large.
- Toss with oil and seasonings.
- Place cut side down on a baking sheet and roast at 425°F oven for 17 to 25 minutes (depending on size).
Notes
- Small Brussels sprouts can be roasted whole; trim bottoms and score a small "X" to ensure even cooking.
- Frozen Brussels sprouts can be roasted from frozen; extend cooking time accordingly.
- For steaming, place trimmed sprouts in a steamer basket over simmering water until tender, then season before serving.
