Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Garlic
Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts, ends trimmed
1 clove garlic, pealed
1 clove garlic, pealed
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon course sea salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
If you are using large Brussels sprouts, I suggest you cut
them in half. Place trimmed Brussels
sprouts, garlic, olive oil, sea salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Stir to coat. Pour
onto a baking sheet (I used a large pan), and place on center oven rack.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, shaking
pan every 5 to 7 minutes for even browning. Reduce heat when necessary to prevent
burning. Brussels sprouts should be darkest brown, almost black, when done.
Adjust seasoning with kosher salt, if necessary. Serve immediately.

ReplyDeleteThank you Becca!
DeleteI love brussel sprouts! And I totally entered that contest! That's so cool that you make lip balm- so do I! I haven't since last summer, but I have a bunch of coconut and vanilla balms I gotta do something with. I gave a bunch away and then meant to start my own little shop too, but...then I got too busy for anything, especially when I got my new job. So, kudos to you! If I don't win the giveaway, I'll have to buy one then! Thanks for linking up!!!!
