# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The high heat transforms bitter sprouts into something naturally sweet and irresistible
  • Minimal prep work for maximum flavor payoff, perfect for busy weeknights
02 -
  • Crowding the pan steams the sprouts instead of roasting them. Use two pans if necessary.
  • The cut side down placement is nonnegotiable for that restaurant quality caramelization.
03 -
  • Buy sprouts that feel heavy for their size with tight, compact leaves
  • Let the pan heat up in the oven while you prep for even better browning
