1large leek,white and green part only, washed well and thinly sliced
Instructions
Preheat oven to 450ºF (232ºC).
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the first 6 ingredients. Add the Brussels sprouts (2 pounds), pancetta (4 ounces), leeks, and sage and toss to coat evenly.
Spread vegetables evenly in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast, flipping over, halfway through the cooking time, until the Brussels sprouts are tender and well caramelized, about 20-25 minutes.
Notes
Keep Them Dry: One thing that is very important to do for this recipe is to make sure the Brussels sprouts are completely dry after you wash them. After washing them, I lay them out in a single layer, on a clean dish towel then roll it up to absorb any excess water. If you roast them with any excess moisture on them, they will steam instead of roast.
