A Brussels Sprouts elfje
Roasted Brussels are so easy they don’t need a recipe. They’re probably my favorite fall vegetable and I love converting people who only remember the crappy canned slimy ones from childhood. If you can find them on their stalks, that’s even cooler because they’re beautiful! The Sprout has sprung!

Charred
Crispy translucence
Caramelized Buttery buds
One of a kind
Sprout
Ps cut in half (quarters if they’re golf ball size), toss in olive oil, salt and pepper, roast at 400 for 40 minutes. I leave the loose outer leaves in the pan, the scraps of burnt paper are my favorite!

Perfection, and I could eat roasted sprouts every day. As for their supposed ‘downside’, I find not even the faintest zephyr ensues. 🙂
