Basic Roasted Brussels Sprouts
A
good way to introduce brussels to your family, this basic recipe is one
of my favorite. Easy to toss together and full of flavor with a touch
of saltiness.
Brussels Sprouts ~ about 1 - 1 1/2 cups or so
1-2 Tbs oil (we like avocado oil)
salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 400º.
Trim bottom of sprout (to trim off brown "stump") if desired. Pull any loose or yellowed leaves from sprout, then cut the sprout in half.
Place
sprouts onto a baking sheet and drizzle with oil. Toss with your hands
to coat, then sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
Place
sprouts into the oven and roast about 25 minutes. I like my sprouts to
be slightly crisp on the outside, but if you don't, remove them when
they feel tender when pierced with a sharp knife. Alternatively, leave
in a bit longer for even crispier sprouts.
Remove from oven and serve.
Liv Life Note: I save the leftovers in a covered bowl in the fridge and like them cold right from the bowl the next day!
Liv Life Note 2: I found that just a small amount of oil works for me... I have friends who prefer more oil and use up to a quarter cup per 1 1/2 cups of sprouts.
