03 - Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer, cut side down, on the prepared baking sheet.

05 - Serve hot, optionally garnished with a squeeze of lemon or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan.
# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- The high heat creates crispy, golden edges while keeping the centers tender and sweet
- They require minimal prep and basically cook themselves while you handle the main dish
02 -
- Crowding the pan is the fastest way to end up with steamed, soggy sprouts instead of crispy ones
- Letting them roast undisturbed for the first half helps develop that golden brown crust on the cut side
03 -
- Buy sprouts that feel heavy for their size and have tight, bright green leaves
- Letting them roast a few extra minutes is better than pulling them out too soon
