Ingredients

  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. While it is heating, slice the ends off the sprouts. Then slice them in half. If they are over an inch wide quarter them. Place them in a bowl including all the loose pieces. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. 
  • Spread them on a sheet pan being careful to not overcrowd the pan and turning the cut sides down. Then roast for 15-20 minutes. Note that cooking time is dependent on the cookie sheet and oven. Start checking at 15 minutes and continue cooking until they've reached desired level of crispiness.

Notes

Tips & Tricks
  • Don't overcrowd the pan (otherwise they steam and can't get crispy). About one pound per 18" x 13" pan.
  • Turn the cut sides down on the sheet pan. That way they get caramelized and delicious.
 
Prep Ahead
Cut all the sprouts and place in a ziptop baggie. Wait to toss in the oil, salt, and pepper until right before roasting.
 
Reheating Instructions
Bake for 10-12 minutes at 350.
 
For a Crowd
Roast one sheet pan per oven rack rotating them every ten minutes. Plan on extra cooking time if the oven is full.
