Calories: 93kcal
Equipment
- half sized sheet pan 18 inches x 13 inches x 1 inch height
- pizza stone Also called a baking stone. Rectangular in size is preferred.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds Brussel Sprouts About 32-36 sprouts similar in size to each other and smaller than a golf ball
- 2 tablespoons Ghee
- ½ teaspoon Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt
- ⅛ teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper 7 grinds of a pepper mill
Instructions
- Make sure an oven rack is on the lowest position of your oven and place the pizza stone centered on the lowest rack. Preheat oven to 450℉.
- Cut the bottoms off each brussels sprout, remove damaged leaves, and split each in half saving the loose leaves
- Transfer the halved brussels sprouts and their loose leaves to a bare, unlined sheet pan. Add the Ghee, kosher salt, and pepper on top.
- Gently mix the ingredients with your hands making sure to rub the Ghee in and around the brussels sprout halves.
- Take the time to turn the cut side down of the brussels on the baking sheet. Place the loose brussels sprout leaves in the center of the pan and the halves towards the outer perimeter. Do not overcrowd your sheet pan, or they will steam. If it's too crowded, make 2 separate pans.
- Quickly, place the sheet pan directly on top of the pizza stone in the hot oven. Cook for 10-11 minutes. Do not open the oven door.
- When your brussels sprouts are sizzling, charred, and crispy, remove the cookie sheet from the oven. Resist the urge to cook too long as they will become too soft and mushy.
- Let the cookie sheet rest on a trivet for a few minutes.
- Taste a sprout for your seasoning preference. It may need a pinch more salt or pepper to finish.
