Crisp-Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Crisp-Roasted Brussels Sprouts deliver caramelized edges and a tender bite, with a clean, peppery finish lifted by good olive oil. The simplicity lets the natural nuttiness of the sprouts shine, making it a standout side for weeknight dinners or holiday spreads. Serve hot so the contrast of crispy exterior and soft center is at its best.
