Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze, 2 slices cooked bacon (crumbled), or 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Arrange the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet, cut-side down. This helps them crisp up.
- Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and deeply caramelized. Flip them halfway through for even cooking.
- For extra flavor, toss with balsamic glaze, crumbled bacon, or Parmesan cheese in the last 5 minutes of roasting, or after removing from the oven.
Notes
- For the crispiest sprouts, ensure they are dry before tossing with oil. Pat them with a paper towel if needed.
- Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet; use two if necessary to allow for proper air circulation and crisping.
- High heat is key to achieving that perfect crispy texture.
