Ingredients
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (possibly more)4 cups (1 pound) Brussels sprouts, halved or quartered lengthwise (or left whole, if small)Salt
Directions
1) Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking tray with foil and coat it with oil.

2) Place the Brussels sprouts cut-side down on the prepared tray, moving them around so that all the cut surfaces touch some of the oil.

3) Place the tray in the center of the oven for 10 minutes. At this point, shake the tray and/or use tongs to redistribute the sprouts so that more surfaces can come into contact with the hot oil.

4) Roast for another 5 minutes, or until a taste test tells you the sprouts are done to your liking. (They will cook a little further from their own heat after they come out of the oven.)

5) Remove the tray from the oven and let the sprouts cool for about 10 minutes on the baking tray. You can salt them lightly during this time, if you wish. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.

Yield: 4 servings

    Yuuuum! This is a great, easy recipe, and a takeoff on those old classics, brussels sprouts! This is the recipe that convinced my husband there is more you can do with them than simply boil or steam! - 8/19/10
