Whether homegrown or store-bought, I am a sucker for fresh brussels sprouts. Love ’em so much, they have made it into that special category of foods I call “food of the gods.” In this post is a recipe for the way I most frequently prepare them. Just four ingredients. Preparation is super quick, the rest is simply oven time. Great to make on these colder days, when having the oven going might make your home just a bit more comfy.

(Yep, that is not even my own photo. I just don’t have any on hand right now and wanted to get this recipe out to you asap.)
Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh Brussels sprouts, ends trimmed and yellow leaves removed
- 1-2 tbl olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic sal
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Place trimmed Brussels sprouts, olive oil, garlic salt, and pepper in a large resealable plastic bag.
- Seal tightly and shake to coat.
- Pour onto a baking sheet and roast in preheated oven for 30-45 minutes, shaking pan gently every 7-8 minutes for even browning.
- They will be dark brown or getting close to dark brown when done.
- Remove from oven and serve immediately or refrigerate and serve later. I have been known to eat them straight from the fridge as a snack.
If you give this a try, please let me know how you liked it. Have a nice weekend and bon appétit!
