Roasted Brussels Sprouts

I think Brussels sprouts have gotten a bad rap over the years (though they are a little stinky while you cook them). The most important thing to remember is use FRESH ones. Thanks to Jennifer for giving us another great way to make these!!


Ingredients:

1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts
3 tablespoons good olive oil
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper


Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Cut off the brown ends of the Brussels sprouts and pull off any yellow outer leaves.
3. Mix them in a bowl with the olive oil, salt and pepper.
4. Pour them on a sheet pan and roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. Shake the pan from time to time to brown the sprouts evenly.
5. Sprinkle with more kosher salt (I like these salty like French fries), and serve immediately.
