* 1 1/2 pounds brussels sprouts

* 3 tbsp good olive oil

* 3/4 tsp kosher salt

* 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Cut off the ends of the brussels sprouts and pull off any yellow outer leaves. Mix them in a bowl with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Place them on a baking sheet and roast for 35-40 minutes until crisp outside and tender inside. Shake the pan occasionally to brown the brussels sprouts evenly. Sprinkle with more kosher salt (I like them salty like french fries) and serve.
