Perfectly Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Olive Oil

Ingredients

- 1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon flaky sea salt

Instructions

1. Preparation: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (205°C).
2. Trim Brussels Sprouts: Rinse the Brussels sprouts under cold water and pat them dry. Trim the ends of each Brussels sprout and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Slice each sprout in half lengthwise for even cooking.
3. Seasoning: In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Toss the sprouts until they are evenly coated with the oil and spices, ensuring full coverage.
4. Roasting: Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they're not overcrowded as this can affect even roasting.
5. Cooking: Place the baking sheet on the middle rack of the preheated oven. Roast for approximately 25 minutes, or until the sprouts are golden brown and crispy on the edges. For an even roast, shake the baking sheet halfway through the cooking time.
6. Finishing Touch: Once roasted, remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. Sprinkle the flaky sea salt over the hot sprouts to add a delightful crunch and finishing flavor.
