# Tips from dashanddishes:

01 -
  • The edges get so crispy they taste like vegetable candy, sweet and caramelized.
  • Its foolproof enough for a weeknight but impressive enough when company shows up unannounced.
02 -
  • Do not overcrowd the pan or the sprouts will steam instead of roast, and youll miss out on the crispy edges.
  • Cut side down is non-negotiable if you want that deep caramelization and sweet flavor.
03 -
  • If your oven runs cool, bump the temperature up to 230°C (450°F) so you still get that crispy char.
  • Toss the sprouts with a tiny drizzle of honey right before serving for a subtle sweetness that balances the salt.
