  • 1/4 cup canola oil You can use olive oil if you prefer
  • 1 tablespoon Salt

  • Keep the brussels sprouts in one layer. Avoid overlapping them so they get very crisp in the hot oven. Use two pans you have too many brussels sprouts to fit on one layer.

  • Bake for 30 minutes. Check the sprouts are brown. The leaves should be very crispy. If the look cooked by not crispy yet, put the brussels sprouts back into the oven to bake for another 15 minutes.

Notes

This recipe keeps the garlic very mild because it roasted the cloves whole.
If you really love strongly flavored, garlicky brussels sprouts, you can crush the garlic or even squeeze the cloves through a garlic press. If that’s the case, put in no more than 1 head of garlic or the the garlic will overpower the brussels sprouts.
