Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 pounds Brussels sprouts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: 1 clove garlic, minced, or 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Trim the tough ends off the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow outer leaves. Cut larger sprouts in half.
- In a medium bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. If using, add the minced garlic.
- Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender on the inside and crispy and browned on the edges.
- If desired, toss with balsamic glaze after roasting.
Notes
- For extra crispy sprouts, roast them at a higher temperature like 425°F (220°C) for a slightly shorter time.
- Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet; use two if necessary to ensure even roasting.
- A touch of sweetness from balsamic glaze or a drizzle of honey can balance any bitterness.
