Brussel Sprout Crisps

Oh my word....its happened, I have officially cooked, eaten and photographed brussel sprouts. Something strange is going on.!

As it turns out, after years of being rude about this vegetable, these chips/crisps/chiplets are extremely delicious and moreish. I actually planned to try making them at Christmas, but no brussel sprouts were to be found in store.
Unfortunately you do waste half the sprout, I have not found a use for the bitter half as yet. Also, it
takes a bit of time do do all the separating, so initially don't plan to do this for 20 people unless you have help.

                                             Brussel sprout Crisps
300g Fresh Brussel sprouts
1T olive oil
salt
Chilli flakes - optional

Preheat oven to 200C. Slice the root end off each sprout and carefully separate the green outer leaves. Do not use the white leaves. Toss in olive oil and salt (chilli if using)

Place on a baking tray and bake for 3 minutes, give the pan a good shake and bake again till the edges are brown...possibly only 1 more minute. eat as soon as possible.
