Perfectly Roasted Brussels Sprouts will convert even the most adamant sprouts-hater. When they are cooked perfectly, sprouts are sweet, a little crisp, and mildly-flavored. Stinky, mushy veggies need not apply!
Trim the stem side of the Brussels sprouts, and slice each sprout in half lengthwise. Discard any loose outer leaves that fall off.
Toss the Brussels sprouts with 2 tablespoons of olive oil per pound of sprouts.
Arrange the sprouts on a baking sheet, cut-sides down, being sure not to overcrowd them. You may need to use multiple baking sheets. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Roast at 450°F for 20 minutes, flipping after the first 15 minutes. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper, and serve.
