Looking for a roasted Brussel sprouts recipe

My mother in law cuts them in half and coats them in olive oil and S&P and bakes them for 40 mins at 350.

I've never liked them, and hers are fkin amazing

I have been experimenting recently.

One important thing...always roast them cut side down. Take the extra time to arrange them, its worth it. I will usually add a decent amount of garlic, and I like some level of sweetness so in addition to salt and pepper, I like to add maybe basalmic or honey (towards the end), or brown sugar.

I also like a higher temperature, 425ish.

Last week I tried doing them for 5 minutes on stovetop in a cast iron and then 15 minutes in the oven. They didn't come out as crisp as I would like so I'm going to have to fine tune that one.

Are you just roasting them on a regular baking sheet?

You can also coat them in some bacon grease and roast. Then, toss in crumbled bacon, freshly grated parmesan and drizzle a little balsamic glaze over them.

I've got some beef tallow I need to use. You think that would work?

Yes, last week I tried on cast iron and it didn't come out as I expected but I can fine tune that.

I would try air fryer but my air fryer is pretty small.

trim and cut in half lengthwise.

oil and salt.

Higher temp. 425 for 45 minutes. turn half way through.

at end reduce soy, lemon juice, sugar or honey, minced garlic and ginger to a glaze.

toss in glaze.

serve

I like to shred them or chop them into relatively small pieces before roasting so they're like this roasted green base for a rich dish. For example, roasted shredded sprouts as the base for braised short ribs or pot roast. A good substitute for grits/potatoes/rice.

I also like to toss the finished sprouts in vinegar.

cut in half, toss in olive oil and put in oven at 425. Meanwhile mix 2 tbl each of olive oil, fish sauce and Thia chili sauce. After about 10 minutes of cooking, add 1/2 of the mixture and toss the brussels to coat them. when brussels are tender to a fork, add the remaining mixture and toss and cook another 1 minute and serve.

You could do a week old dog turd that way and it would be edible.

Serious though, look up John Besh's recipe for them that he does at Luke. I can't find the recipe online but he does them in butter and wing sauce with bacon and they are crazy good.
