Brussels sprouts can sometimes be a tough sell, but they may just shoot to the top of your family’s favorite veggie’s list when you prepare them this way. This addictive side is a sure thing in my house.

A few tips: I cut the sprout into quarters (instead of halves) so they get nicely browned and super toasty. Make sure the edges get burnt toward the end of the cooking time—that’s what makes this dish so special. And don’t forget to toss any leaves that become loose onto the baking sheet. They’ll crisp up beautifully and are so tasty—in fact, they’re the best part of the recipe. We fight over them in my house.
