Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Garlic


Copyright Mark Bittman: How to Cook Everything Vegetarian
1 pound Brussels sprouts
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
5 cloves peeled garlic, or more to taste
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1. Preheat the oven to 450. Trim the hard edge of the stem from the Brussels sprouts, then cut each in half through its axis. Put the oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. When it shimmers, arrange the sprouts in one layer, cut side down. Toss in the garlic and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
2. Cook, undisturbed, until the sprouts begin to brown, 5 to 10 minutes, then transfer to the oven. Cook, shaking the pan occasionally, until the sprouts are quite brown and tender, about 30 minutes.
3. Taste and adjust the seasoning; drizzle with the balsamic vinegar, stir, and serve hot or warm.

Welcome to the blog, Tom. I agree that it can be overwhelming. If I'm not looking for something specific, I either go off of recommendations from the folks at the Cooking Light Bulletin Boards, or I open it to a page and pick something from within five pages either direction of the page I open to. Crazy system, huh?
