# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The sprouts develop this incredible natural sweetness you never knew they had
  • They're honestly the easiest side dish that makes people think you put in way more effort
02 -
  • Crowding the pan is the fastest way to end up with steamed sprouts instead of roasted ones
  • That single flip halfway through is what gives you crispy edges on both sides instead of just one
03 -
  • Buy sprouts that feel heavy and tight, not loose or spongy, because freshness affects how well they caramelize
  • If some sprouts are significantly larger than others, cut the big ones into quarters so everything roasts evenly
