Preparation

Step 1

I usually plan for about 4 large Brussels sprouts per person, or 6-7 little ones. To get that addictive contrast of tender centers and crunchy leaves, I quarter each Brussels sprout and place them cut-side down on a baking sheet. If you lay them facing upwards instead, the centers stay firm and the leaves turn soft. Not worth it—I love those crunchy bits!

Many recipes for roasted vegetables direct you to toss them in oil before spreading on the pan. Not this one! To keep these Brussels sprouts extra skinny, mist the baking sheet with olive oil cooking spray, and after laying the little guys on top, lightly coat them as well. This lowers the fat and calories while bringing out their earthy flavor and ensuring they turn tender.

Bake 14 - 17 minutes at 400 degrees.
