Ingredients:

  • 1 pounds Brussels sprouts

  • 1 –2 Tbsp oil

  • 1 head garlic*, small

  • Salt & pepper, to taste

Main Ingredient(s): Brussels Sprouts, Garlic

* Whole peeled garlic cloves may be substituted.

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400°F. Prepare a sheet pan.

  • Trim the stems and remove any dry, yellow or blemished outer leaves. Rinse & pat dry. Cut larger sprouts in half.

  • Remove loose papery skin from garlic head, cut head in half (cross section), exposing cloves.

  • Toss sprouts with oil, salt & pepper. Carefully rub exposed surface of garlic with oil and season.

  • Put sprouts on sheet pan in an even layer. Place garlic halves on sheet pan, cut side down. Roast for 25-30 minutes, until sprouts are crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, shaking the pan twice during baking time to allow sprouts to brown evenly. Garlic will be tender.

  • Remove from oven. Remove garlic from pan, using tongs, squeeze garlic head gently and roasted cloves will pop out. Discard skin. Using a fork lightly mash garlic and toss with sprouts.

  • Serve warm.
