Ingredients:

• 16 oz North Bay Brussels sprouts (halved)
• 2 TBLS olive oil

• 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 1 TBLS granulated sugar

Directions

Step 1. 

Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Trim bottoms off Brussels sprouts (if necessary) and toss in olive oil and sugar. Spread onto baking sheet into a single layer and roast stirring occasionally for 20 – 25 minutes until tender and toasted.

Step 3. 

While baking, make butter mixture by placing butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, rosemary and pepper in a small bowl and whisk to combine into a creamy paste.
