Ingredients:

• 1 pound Brussels sprouts, ends trimmed and yellow leaves removed
  
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
  

• 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
   
2. Place trimmed Brussels sprouts, olive oil, kosher salt, and pepper in a large resealable plastic bag. Seal tightly, and shake to coat. Pour onto a baking sheet, and place on center oven rack.
   
3. Roast in the preheated oven for 30 to 45 minutes, shaking pan every 5 to 7 minutes for even browning. Reduce heat when necessary to prevent burning. Brussels sprouts should be darkest brown, almost black, when done. Adjust seasoning with kosher salt, if necessary. Serve immediately.
