Ingredients

Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved lengthwise

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 sprig fresh rosemary, leaves removed

1 head garlic, separated into cloves (unpeeled)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add Brussels sprouts and cook for 2 minutes. Drain and transfer to a bowl lined with a clean kitchen towel; pat dry to remove any excess moisture. Remove towel and season Brussels sprouts with salt and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet, placing cut sides down, along with rosemary and garlic. Roast until browned and tender, about 20 minutes.
