Recipe for November 3, 2007:

Brussels Sprouts

Oven Roasted Brussel Sprouts
This recipe will work with any amount of brussel sprouts.

Brussel sprouts
Olive oil
Salt and pepper

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Slice the sprouts in half lengthwise, removing any discolored outer leaves and trimming the bottom stems.

Toss sprouts in a drizzle of olive oil, they should be well coated but not dripping. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Spread in a single layer on a foil-lined baking sheet. Don't worry about any loose leaves, include them.

Bake for 30-40 minutes until browned. Any leaves that fall off the sprouts might look very dark brown, but not black. These are crunchy and taste delicious. Serve immediately, or keep in the fridge for reheat the next day.
