  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 200 °C (400 °F) and line a large baking sheet with baking paper.

  2. 2

    Trim the dry base off each of the sprouts and pull away any yellow or loose outer leaves.

  3. 3

    Halve the sprouts lengthwise, from the top down through the stem.

  4. 4

    In a large bowl, toss them with the olive oil, salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Lay them on the sheet in a single layer, cut faces down.

  6. 6

    Roast without touching for 15 min, then shake the sheet so they turn.

  7. 7

    Roast until the cut faces are dark golden and the loose leaves have crisped, 5-10 min more.

  8. 8

    Move to a serving dish, drizzle with the balsamic glaze and serve hot.

About 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.

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.
