Preheat oven to 375. Rinse brussels sprouts and pat dry. If there are any that are significantly larger than the rest, cut them in half. Also remove any woody stems. Put them in a bowl, and coat them with oil, salt and pepper, stirring to get all sides. Spread in a single layer on a cookie sheet. Roast for about 20 minutes, stirring halfway through.
I also sometimes season these with lemon pepper before cooking, instead of the black pepper.
Perilous to all of us are the devices of an art deeper than we ourselves
possess.
