Ingredients
Vegetables
• 1.5 lbs. brussels sprouts, halved
Seasoning
• ¾ tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• ½ tsp garlic powder
Topping
• small drizzle balsamic vinegar
How to Make It
1
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any loose outer leaves. Halve each sprout through the stem.
2
In a large bowl, toss the sprouts with olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper until evenly coated.
3
Spread the sprouts cut-side down in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Do not overcrowd or they will steam instead of roast.
4
Roast for 20–25 minutes until the cut sides are deep golden brown and the outer leaves are crispy. Check at 20 minutes and flip any that need more color.
5
Serve immediately while hot and crispy. Finish with a small drizzle of balsamic vinegar.

Pan too crowded.

Quick Fixes
Soggy sprouts: Dry them completely after washing and make sure they're cut-side down on the pan with space between each one.
Burning on outside, raw inside: Check that oven is fully preheated and sprouts are roughly the same size for even cooking.
