Ingredients
  

Roasted Brussels Sprouts
  • 1.5 lb Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar optional, for finishing

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, toss Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Spread Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the baking sheet, cut side down for maximum caramelization.
  4. Roast for 20–25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and crisp on the outside.
  5. Remove from oven and drizzle with balsamic vinegar if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

For extra flavor, sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan or crispy bacon bits before serving. Try adding a squeeze of lemon juice for a fresh, bright finish.
