Brussels sprouts

💰Cheaper: cabbage

Cabbage is a more affordable alternative with a similar texture.

Trim the white stems off your Brussels sprouts if they have not already been trimmed.

Slice the Brussels sprouts in half length-wise.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Place the Brussels sprouts into a large resealable plastic bag with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Seal the bag tightly, and shake it to coat the sprouts with oil.

Pour out onto a baking sheet, spread the Brussels sprouts evenly, and place onto the center oven rack.

Roast for 30 to 45 minutes, shaking the pan every 5 to 7 minutes to prevent burning.

Transfer the Brussels sprouts to a bowl and serve immediately.
