Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Seasoned with a whole head of garlic and fresh thyme, these Brussels sprouts develop a delicious caramelized browning on the outside while roasting in the oven.

Recipe Ingredients:

2 pounds Brussels sprouts, washed and trimmed, large sprouts halved
1 whole head garlic, cloves separated and peeled
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1/4 cup olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

2. Combine Brussels sprouts, whole garlic cloves, thyme and olive oil together in a bowl. Season with the salt and pepper, to taste and toss to mix well.
3. Place vegetable mixture onto a shallow baking pan and roast, uncovered, until tender and edges begin to brown, about 35 minutes.
