# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • High heat transforms these humble sprouts into something sweet and nutty, nothing like the boiled version you might remember
  • The recipe is forgiving enough for weeknight dinners but impressive enough for holiday tables
02 -
  • Overcrowding the pan is the number one mistake. Use two pans if needed, because single layer spacing is nonnegotiable.
  • The smell during roasting can be strong. Don't panic. That's just the vegetables transforming into something wonderful.
03 -
  • Buy sprouts that are similar in size so they roast evenly
  • Let the oven fully preheat before putting the pan in
