Ingredients
- 1pint brussels sprouts (about a pound)
- 4 to 6tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, to coat bottom of pan
- 5cloves garlic, peeled
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Preparation
- Step 1
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Trim bottom of brussels sprouts, and slice each in half top to bottom. Heat oil in cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until it shimmers; put sprouts cut side down in one layer in pan. Put in garlic, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Step 2
Cook, undisturbed, until sprouts begin to brown on bottom, and transfer to oven. Roast, shaking pan every 5 minutes, until sprouts are quite brown and tender, about 10 to 20 minutes.
- Step 3
Taste, and add more salt and pepper if necessary. Stir in balsamic vinegar, and serve hot or warm.

Can I make this today to serve tomorrow at Thanksgiving? Oven gets too full at zero hour...
I think I use Ina Garten's recipe. Much easier and less oil. Just halve the brussel sprouts and toss them in a tablespoon and a half of olive oil and roast at 450 degrees.
Since reading all of the comments here, we've taken another look at the recipe and adjusted it. 10-20 minutes @ 400 degrees with a few shakes of the pan in between. I hope this change yields better results for all of you!
I cannnot get myself to cook brussels any other way--these are addictive.
Instead of the balsamic vinegar, I added some shredded Parmesan cheese on top and put it under the broiler for the last few minutes. Toasty,crunchy and tasty too!
Would give six stars if I could. This is a regular side for my family.
