Ingredients

Brussels Sprouts

  • 16 ounces Brussels sprouts

Seasoning

  • 3–4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Fresh ground black pepper, to taste
  • 5 large cloves garlic, minced

Optional

  • 2 tablespoons high quality balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for roasting Brussels sprouts to a perfect golden crisp.
  2. Prepare the Brussels sprouts: Trim the bottom ends off the Brussels sprouts and slice each in half. Arrange them on a large rimmed baking sheet to keep the sprouts contained as they roast.
  3. Season the sprouts: Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the Brussels sprouts. Sprinkle salt and several grinds of fresh black pepper over them. Toss the sprouts directly on the baking sheet to ensure an even coating of the oil and seasoning.
  4. Arrange for roasting: Place each Brussels sprout cut side down on the baking sheet. This orientation helps the inside stay tender while allowing the cut side to develop a beautiful golden brown crisp.
  5. Roast the sprouts: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 15 minutes, or until the cut sides of the sprouts are golden brown. Then remove them briefly to add minced garlic, toss quickly to distribute the garlic evenly, and return the sprouts to the oven for another 5 minutes to meld flavors and finish cooking.
  6. Final seasoning and optional balsamic: Remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven and taste. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Optionally, toss the roasted sprouts with 2 tablespoons of high quality balsamic vinegar before serving for added sweetness and depth.

Notes

  • For even cooking, ensure all Brussels sprouts are similar in size or cut larger ones in quarters.
  • To save time, garlic can be minced ahead and refrigerated.
  • Use a rimmed baking sheet to prevent oil and sprouts from spilling in the oven.
  • Balsamic vinegar adds a pleasant acidity that complements the roasted flavor but can be omitted if preferred.
  • Roasting times may vary slightly depending on your oven; check for browning to gauge doneness.
