Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
  • Balsamic glaze (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash the Brussels sprouts, pat them completely dry, trim stem ends, and remove any yellowed outer leaves. Slice each sprout in half lengthwise.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, drizzle the halved sprouts with olive oil, then sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper. Toss to coat.
  4. Arrange the sprouts cut-side down in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  5. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, shaking the pan at the halfway mark.
  6. Once tender and crispy, remove from the oven and drizzle with balsamic glaze or lemon juice.

Notes

Keep sprouts bone-dry before adding oil for extra crispiness. Avoid crowding the pan to prevent steaming.
