Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds Brussels sprouts
  • 3 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • ¾ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ cup thinly sliced onion optional
  • Bacon bits optional
  • pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Wash and then cut off any brown ends of the Brussels sprouts. Next, cut them in half or into quarters lengthwise. Slice onion if using.
  • Mix them (and sliced onion if using) in a bowl with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place them cut side down on a sheet pan lined with foil and roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until crisp on the outside but tender on the inside.
    PRO TIP: For extra crispy Brussels, add a little extra olive oil to the pan before placing your veggies in it.
  • Flip the Brussels sprouts halfway through the cooking time to brown them evenly. Sprinkle with a tiny bit more sea salt and serve immediately.

Notes

OLIVE OIL: Use high-quality extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor.
CUTTING THE BRUSSELS: The part that takes the longest when preparing, but is worth it, is quartering the Brussels. This gives them more surface area to get nice and crisp while roasting in the oven.
DO NOT overcrowd your sheet pan with Brussels, as this will cause them to steam and not brown.
OPTIONS: These Brussels Sprouts are also good with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar when they come out of the oven. OR roast them with bacon. 
TO STORE: Place leftover Brussels in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Please note they will become soft after being stored.
