Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lbs (680g) Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved (or quartered if large)
  • 3 tablespoons (45ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (or kosher salt), plus more to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze (store-bought or homemade) (optional)
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional, for a little kick)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and trim the Brussels sprouts. Halve or quarter them depending on their size.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Ensure the sprouts are evenly coated.
  4. Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding.
  5. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the sprouts are tender and browned, flipping halfway through.
  6. Remove from the oven and drizzle with balsamic glaze (if using). Toss to coat.
  7. Serve immediately and bask in the glory of your delicious Brussels sprouts.
