Roasted Brussels Sprouts

 A truly simple recipe that makes an excellent side dish.  Serve with things like Chicken with Cherries and Red Wine.

1 lbs Brussels sprouts, ends trimmed, halved, and any loose or yellowed leaves removed
3-4 T olive oil
salt and pepper

Preheat the oven to 400 F.  Toss the Brussels sprouts with the olive oil and season liberally with salt and pepper; it'll probably take more than you think, but you can always add more at the end.  Spread the sprouts on a baking sheet and place in the oven, stirring several times while cooking.  Cooking times will vary based on the size of the sprouts; I start checking small sprouts at 25 minutes, but large ones could take up to 40 minutes.  You want the sprouts to be browned in places and softened but with just a little crunch.
