Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lb brussels sprouts halved

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425F.

  4. Spread cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast 20 minutes.

Notes

Using a little bacon fat in the toss deepens that smoky-sweet flavor.
