Option 2 is to simply place the veggie into a casserole dish, cover with water, cover and bake at 350 for 30-45 minutes, depending on if they're whole or sliced. Your veggie is done when a sharp knife can enter the skin easily. (Fork-tender is not best for Brussels due to the likelihood of overcooking.)
To make roasted Brussels sprouts:Cut sprouts in half and lay them cut side up on a baking sheet with sides, or an oven-proof baking dish. Drizzle a little extra-virgin olive oil over the top. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, or the seasoning of your choice. Roast in a 400 degree oven for 30-40 minutes or until tender inside and brown and crispy on the outside.
No matter which method your choose, your veggie now ready to play with. Due to the compact size of this adorable veggie, it's best if left whole or cut in half. But feel free to slice it, or cut into quarters.
