The stem is the toughest part of the Brussels sprout and the cross allows them to cook at the same rate as the tender area.Leave smaller sprouts whole to avoid overcooking.For extra caramelized area place the sliced Brussels sprouts cut-side down at on the pan.When using untrimmed Brussels sprouts, trim off the dry part of the stem at the base of the sprout and any loose outer leaves.Brown is good. If you’ve never cooked Brussels sprouts this way, at first glance you may think it looks burnt out of the oven, but once you taste it, you’ll know those little “burnt” areas are the best tasting parts!.Be sure to start with a hot oven to help the sprouts crisp on the outside and soft on the inside.Cut the sprouts to be even sized pieces if you want them to have a similar texture.
