Food channel

Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Copyright 1999, The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook, All rights reserved

Show:  Barefoot Contessa
Episode:  Thanksgiving
This recipe is available for a limited time only. Why?
1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts
3 tablespoons good olive oil
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
 Cut off the brown ends of the Brussels sprouts and pull off any yellow outer leaves. Mix them in a bowl with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Pour them on a sheet pan and roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. Shake the pan from time to time to brown the sprouts evenly. Sprinkle with more kosher salt ( I like these salty like French fries), and serve immediately.

I have been using Macs since the Apple IIE days. Computers are the best thing since sliced bread, eclipses and my  wife! Macs are more visual and cool. I support them for that reason and because Apple has always supported education.
I started writing for MacCompanion as an outgrowth of those endeavors and to work with other mac people.
