Start with the Brussels sprouts. Trim the stems and remove any loose and wilted leaves. Then add them to the pot with salted boiling water and cook for about 8-10 minutes.

Using the bottom of a mason jar, gently press down on each sprout until it flattens slightly. Roast in the preheated oven until the Brussels sprouts are crispy and golden brown.
