Sure-fire recipe:
Rinse and boil whole brussel sprouts in a little salted water (I place about ½-inch of salted water in the bottom of a covered saucepan and toss the sprouts in the water before bringing it to the boil) until they're semi-tender, then rinse them thoroughly under ice-cold water to arrest the cooking process. Set them on paper towel to dry. Cut the very bottoms off and then cut the brussel sprouts in half (length-wise). Spread a ½-and-½ mixture of extra virgin olive oil and a good balsamic vinegar over the entire surface of a baking sheet. Crack ground sea salt (I like Himalayan) and ground pepper (I like the 5-berry sort) over the surface of the baking sheet. Place the brussel sprout halves cut-side down on the baking sheet. Roast in a 450ºF oven for approximately 5 to 10 minutes (until the upper leaves begin to 'toast' (darken) a bit. Serve.
