Ingredients:
- 1-2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts, rinsed
- salt and pepper
Take each rinsed sprout and cut the tough part of the stem off. Then, carefully slice each sprout. Think of the stem as the South Pole and slice from North to South. You should get 4 to 5 slices from each one, depending on their size. Don't worry if some of the leaves separate; you'll end up with those extra crunchy pieces that are surprisingly addicting. Line a baking sheet with foil and toss the sprouts with the oil, salt and pepper. I used about 1/2 tsp of kosher salt (which = 1/4 tsp table salt) plus some ground black pepper. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 7 - 10 minutes. Check on the pan halfway to see if the sprouts need to be stirred around. You're looking for a brown caramelized color, but also stick a fork in the slices to test if they are done. Serve immediately, and be sure to marvel at how different (and delicious) Brussels sprouts can taste when you cook them the right way!
