Roasted Brussels sprouts are a delicious and healthy side dish that can easily complement any meal. With their crispy outer leaves and tender insides, these sprouts are elevated to a new level of flavor when roasted with olive oil, salt, and pepper. This recipe is simple, quick, and requires minimal ingredients, making it perfect for both busy weeknights and special occasions.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it is at the right temperature when you put the Brussels sprouts in.
Wash the Brussels sprouts thoroughly under running water. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Trim off the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Cut each Brussels sprout in half lengthwise for even cooking.
Place the halved Brussels sprouts into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over them. Sprinkle the salt and black pepper evenly. Toss the Brussels sprouts in the bowl until each piece is well-coated with the oil, salt, and pepper.
Spread the seasoned Brussels sprouts out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Make sure they are not too crowded to ensure even roasting. For crispier sprouts, place them cut-side down.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast the Brussels sprouts for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges. Stir them halfway through the cooking time to ensure they cook evenly.
After 20-25 minutes, check if the Brussels sprouts are tender by piercing them with a fork. If they need more time, continue roasting for another 5 minutes and check again.
Once the Brussels sprouts are roasted to perfection, remove them from the oven. Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy hot as a side dish or as a topping for salads and grain bowls.
Tips:
- Ensure Brussels sprouts are uniformly sized by either halving or quartering larger ones to ensure even cooking.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) for best results.
- Arrange the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the baking sheet for optimal crispiness.
- Halfway through roasting, shake the pan or stir the sprouts to ensure they cook evenly and all sides get crispy.
- For added flavor, consider adding minced garlic or a splash of lemon juice before roasting.
Roasted Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper are not only nutritious but also incredibly flavorful and easy to prepare. With these simple tips, you can achieve perfectly roasted Brussels sprouts that are sure to be a hit at any meal. Enjoy this delectable side dish that promises to bring a burst of savory delight to your table.
