Brussels Sprouts Burnt
Your Brussels sprouts are burnt on the outside because the heat was too high or the pan was crowded. Trim and re-roast.

The fix
Tap a step to check it off.
- 1 trim off the darkest leaves and discard
- 2 toss with olive oil and lemon juice
- 3 roast at 400F for 4 minutes to finish
If it's still wrong
- shred and saute with bacon or nuts
- blend into a creamy soup
Prevent next time
- use a lower temperature and more space
- cut sprouts evenly
Notes
Why this works
Burnt flavors concentrate in the outer leaves. Trimming and finishing at gentler heat restores a sweeter, nuttier flavor.
