Tips for Best Results
Cut larger sprouts in half. Smaller and larger Brussels sprouts can cook at different rates. Halve the larger ones for more even cooking.
Clean them well. Wash the Brussels sprouts thoroughly and remove the outer leaves before trimming. Dirt can collect underneath the outer leaves, even when the package says pre-washed.
Roast cut-side down. Place halved Brussels sprouts cut-side down and leave them undisturbed while they bake. Roast until the cut sides are golden and the centers can be easily pierced with a fork.
