Roasted Brussel Sprouts

The Stuff:

2 lbs fresh brussel sprouts
3 cloves garlic, sliced
2 small shallots, sliced thin
3-4 springs thyme, leaves stripped off
olive oil
kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper

Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with foil.  Remove any brown or ugly outer leaves from your sprouts and slice in half.  Remove the core by cutting a triangle in the bottom, this will remove the entire core.

Put the sprouts on your baking sheet and add the garlic and shallot.  Sprinkle with salt, pepper and thyme leaves.  Drizzle liberally with olive oil and toss to coat everything evenly.  Your hands work best for this!

Roast for 30 minutes, mixing everything around halfway through.  Serve with a drizzle of olive oil and enjoy!

Optionally you can mix in toasted walnuts and dried cranberries which I think go with this very nicely!
