How to Make Basic Garlic Butter Brussels Sprouts

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and trim the Brussels sprouts, removing any loose outer leaves. Halve or quarter larger sprouts for even cooking.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  4. Spread the sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  5. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned, shaking the pan halfway through.
  6. While the sprouts are roasting, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
  7. Once the sprouts are cooked, pour the garlic butter over them and toss to coat.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!
