When you roast Brussels sprouts, they get super crispy on the outside and tender on the inside and they are simply delicious. Make sure you enjoy the little crispy leaves that fall off. They are the best part!
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit with oven rack set in the center of the oven. Prepare a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
Trim the woody end off of each sprout with a paring knife and discard. Slice each sprout lengthwise through its stem. Toss sprouts (and any leaves that have fallen off) with oil and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add a little more oil if needed. They should be glistening with oil, not drenched.
Place on the baking sheet with the cut side down. Leaves should be scattered around the sprouts.
After 15 minutes, check the sprouts. You'll see that the sprouts that were cut in half have browned. You can pull the loose leaves off the pan and eat them while the sprouts continue roasting. Roast another 10 minutes and check to see if the sprouts are tender. If not, give them another few minutes.
Seve hot.
Notes
HOW TO ROAST WHOLE BRUSSELS SPROUTS If you are cooking the sprouts whole, toss them with oil and salt in a mixing bowl. You can roast them whole for 40 minutes or until tender.HOW TO ROAST A LARGE AMOUNT OF BRUSSELS SPROUTS If you have a standard size 15" baking sheet, you can get roughly a pound and a half of sprouts to roast nicely on it. If you want to roast 2 pounds or a little bit more, use half a sheet pan, and add another tablespoon of oil and a little extra salt.If you use two sheet pans, place one pan on the top shelf of the oven and the other on the middle shelf. After 15 minutes, move the top pan to the middle position and the middle pan to the top. Continue roasting until tender.HOW TO STORE LEFTOVERS Store the leftovers in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Freezing is not recommended.
