Ingredients:
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup buffalo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- Optional: Blue cheese crumbles or ranch dressing for serving
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
- Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Roast the Brussels Sprouts: Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
