Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Brussels sprouts halved and roasted in olive oil until the outer leaves crisp and char, finished with black pepper and a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
Where it comes from
Roasting caramelizes the sprout's natural sugars and mutes the bitterness that boiling tends to bring out, which turned a vegetable many people avoided as children into one ordered on purpose as adults.
What cooks argue about
Cooks argue over roasting the sprouts cut-side down for maximum contact and char, or tossing them loose on the pan, which browns less evenly but needs less arranging.
Nobody has published a roasted brussels sprouts recipe yet. The page stays out of search until one exists, which is the rule for every thin page here.
