Roasted Brussel Sprouts

Ingredients
- 3 pounds (1.4kg) Brussels sprouts, bottoms trimmed, outer leaves removed, cut in half (see note)
- 1/4 cup (60ml) extra-virgin olive oil, divided (see note)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 8 medium shallots, sliced thinly (see note)
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) balsamic vinegar or aged sherry vinegar
Directions
- Adjust oven racks to upper and lower middle positions and place a rimmed baking sheet on each rack. Preheat oven with sheets to 500°F (260°C).
- In a large bowl,
- add sprouts, 3 tablespoons of the olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste and toss to combine.
- Once the oven has reached temperature, working quickly, remove the baking sheets with a dish towel or oven mitt and divide Brussels sprouts mixture evenly between both trays, shaking sheets to distribute into a single even layer.
- Return pans to the oven. Roast for 10 minutes.
- While Brussels sprouts roast, in the now-empty bowl, toss shallots, remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste to combine.
- Working quickly and carefully, divide the shallot mixture evenly between the two sheets and stir with the Brussels sprouts to combine.
- Rotate and swap pans top to bottom in oven.
- Continue to bake until Brussels sprouts are deeply charred and fully tender and shallots begin to brown, 10 to 15 minutes more.
- Immediately after removing sheets from oven, drizzle sprouts with balsamic vinegar and shake to coat. Season to taste with more salt and pepper if desired and serve.
