Ingredients

450g (1 lb) Brussels Sprouts
2 tablespoon Olive Oil

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 175C / 350F
Remove a large piece of the stem/core from each sprout, using a sharp paring knife. I find it easiest to cut a triangle from each side. The outer leaves with automatically fall off.
Peel away each layer of the sprouts, taking care not to rip the leaves. Continue until you get to the core. As you get closer to the middle, cut a thin slice off the stem at the bottom to help release each layer.
Add the leaves to a large mixing bowl and add the olive oil. Gently massage the oil into the leaves. Place the leaves, in a single layer, on the baking tray. Although not necessary, placing all of the leaves facing down on the baking tray (see picture) helps to ensure they cook more evenly. Some leaves may stick together after coating in oil so just check that you are adding only a single layer to the tray.

Bake for 10-15 minutes., until the leaves are lightly brown and crisp.
Season to taste. (Do not add salt if serving to a baby / young child)

Notes

If you want to add a little more flavour you could try

Pizza Flavoured – Add mixed Italian herbs to your oil and sprinkle with grated parmesan before baking.
Lemon – add lemon zest to your oil and a little sumac.
Parmesan – sprinkle the chips with freshly grated parmesan or some nutritional yeast before baking
Spiced – Add a little smoked paprika and cumin to the oil before coating.
Sesame – Coat in sesame oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds
