Instructions
To prepare Baked Brussels Sprouts, start by washing and cleaning the sprouts. Cook them in plenty of boiling water for about 10 minutes, or until they are tender.
Once ready, remove them from the pot with a slotted spoon, place them in a bowl filled with cold water for a few minutes to stop the cooking process (this is called blanching), and then transfer them to a serving bowl.
Butter a baking dish, arrange the Brussels sprouts evenly, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cut the butter into small pieces and distribute them evenly over the sprouts.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for about 25 minutes, making sure to turn the Brussels sprouts occasionally for even cooking. Once ready, remove from the oven and serve your Baked Brussels Sprouts immediately!
