Popular Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Submitted by Penny Stettinius

"Never eat boring boiled sprouts again. Brussel sprouts were grown to be roasted with olive oil, Kosher salt, and freshly cracked pepper. Or you can even live a little and add Andouille sausage, or garlic or chestnuts. This is a great side dish to almost any entree. Enjoy y'all!"

 

• Ready In: 55mins
• Ingredients: 4
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1 1⁄4 lbs Brussels sprouts
• 2 -3 tablespoons olive oil
• kosher salt
• freshly cracked black pepper

directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. Clean and trim the sprouts and remove any discolored outer leaves.
3. Using a small paring knife, make a deep x in the end of each stem. This allows even cooking.

Great brussels sprouts! Mine were pretty big so I cut them in half instead of cutting the 'x' in the core. Cooked them until they were nice and brown and loved the rich flavor. Thanks for sharing the recipe! Made for the Best of 2010 Event (recommended by Maito)

I'm in love! I always thought Brussels Sprouts were bitter and needed a bunch of butter to cover up their nasty taste! This is the simplest and best tasting Brussels Sprouts recipe ever! Hubby liked it so much he said they were good enough to eat as a snack!

This method makes a very delicious product - nice and brown and crispy. I can see why it made it into someone's best of the year cookbook! I used less oil and skipped making the "X" cores too, I think they are unnecessary.

These were perfectly cooked. I added one sweet potato (cubed) tossed in as well. All cooked wonderfully together. Looked pretty as well.

Delish!!! Roasting is such a great way to prepare brussels sprouts or any vegetable for that matter!! I quartered mine instead of the "X" cores and they cooked in about 20 minutes. Love the flavors of kosher salt and EVOO with fresh cracked black pepper on the sprouts!! Yummy!!!!!!!!! Thanks, Trinkets!
