The Easiest and Best Roasted Brussels Sprouts Ever
 |
| The Brussels Sprout |
Dear Brussels Sprouts,
I love you so much. I cannot stay away from you. I seek you out at the market every time I go. Im not embarrassed to stare at you, touch you, pick you up, and ultimately take you home with me. I love you more than any other vegetable. Even the pea (and I love me some peas).
I love that you look like a tiny little green cabbage head. I also love how your wispy outer leaves fall away when I quarter you, and how those same leaves get all crispy, caramelized, and brown in the oven.
Can I tell you something? I didnt always love you. When I was a kid, I kinda didnt even like you. At all. Sorry. Had I known how absolutely amazing you are fresh or easily roasted, I wouldve felt much differently. Can you forgive me? I promise to spend the rest of my days loving and cherishing you.
Love,
The Enchanted Cook
The Easiest and Best Roasted Brussels Sprouts Ever
serves 4 as a side
Oven 450 degrees F, 20 minutes
Ingredients:
16-20 large fresh organic brussels sprouts, quartered (see Cooks notes for how to clean and prep)
2 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
fresh cracked black pepper
sea salt flakes (I like Maldons)
In a large bowl, toss the quartered brussels sprouts with olive oil, pepper, and salt so that they are evenly coated. Its okay that the leaves start to come apart.
Spread the coated and quartered bsprouts on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil and place in oven.
Roast for 10 minutes, then take a spatula and turn bsprouts over. Roast for another 10 minutes or until crispy and brown on the outside, and soft and delicious on the inside.
