Critical Success Points

  • Trim only a tiny bit off the stem to keep leaves intact.
  • Blanch for exactly 6‑7 minutes; over‑blanching makes them mushy.
  • Arrange sprouts flesh‑side down with space between each piece.
  • Roast until the cut sides are deeply golden and slightly blackened.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle boiling water with care to avoid burns.
  • Use oven mitts when removing the hot sheet pan.
  • Watch for hot oil splatter when tossing the sprouts.
