Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ pounds fresh brussels sprouts
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C). Position the rack in the middle of the oven.
  2. Prepare the brussels sprouts by trimming off the tough stem ends and removing any yellow or damaged outer leaves. For even cooking, cut any extra-large sprouts in half.
  3. Place the trimmed brussels sprouts in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Toss well to ensure all sprouts are evenly coated.
  4. Spread the seasoned sprouts in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Make sure they're not too crowded, as overcrowding will cause them to steam rather than roast.
  5. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through with a spatula for even browning. They're done when the edges are crispy and caramelized, and the centers are tender when pierced with a fork.
  6. Serve immediately while hot and crispy for the best flavor and texture.
