Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and split in half
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Set an oven rack in the upper position and slide a rimmed baking sheet covered with foil onto the rack; heat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Tumble the sprouts with the olive oil, then add salt and pepper to taste. Pull the hot sheet pan out, scatter on the brussels sprouts, and move fast so each piece lands cut-side-down. Put the pan back in the oven and roast until the sprouts are soft through the centers and richly browned, about 20 minutes total. Bring them to the table right away.
