Ingredients
- 1½ pound (680 g) Brussels sprouts, trimmed, halved
- 2 Tablespoons safflower oil, or grapeseed oil, optional
- ¾ Tablespoon ground black pepper
- 3 lemons, peeled
- ½ cup (120 ml) water

- 3 Tablespoons (45 ml) extra virgin olive oil, optional
- 2 Tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, stemmed
Directions

Add 1 tablespoon water to the pan and arrange Brussels sprouts cut side down. Cover tightly with foil and roast for 10 minutes. Remove foil and roast another 10 to 15 minutes, or until Brussels sprouts are heavily browned.

Chef's Notes
Any remaining dipping sauce can be used as a vinaigrette on a salad, or use it throughout the week with other vegetables, fish or meat.
