Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb (454 g) Brussels sprouts, trimmed with outer leaves removed, thinly sliced
  • 2 large leeks, white and light green parts only, rinsed well, thinly sliced
  • 1 Tbsp (15 ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) herbes de Provence
  • ¼ tsp (1.25 ml) (0 fl oz) each sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • for Perfect Roasting
  • To thoroughly clean leeks, slice them first, then place them in a bowl of cold water. Swish them around to dislodge any grit, then lift them out with a slotted spoon, leaving the dirt behind.
  • For a finishing touch, drizzle the roasted vegetables with a high-quality balsamic glaze or sprinkle with toasted pine nuts just before serving.

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F / 220°C.
  2. On a large baking sheet, combine the sliced Brussels sprouts, leeks, olive oil, herbes de Provence, sea salt, and black pepper.
  3. Toss everything together with your hands until the vegetables are evenly coated.
  4. Spread the vegetables in a single, even layer to ensure proper caramelization.
  5. Roast for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and have golden-brown, crispy edges.
  6. Don't overcrowd the pan. Use a large baking sheet or two smaller ones to ensure the vegetables roast rather than steam, which is key for getting those crispy, caramelized edges.
  7. Slice the Brussels sprouts and leeks to a similar thickness to promote even cooking throughout the roasting time.
