Garlic Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Ham

Directions

1. 1
   Heat the oven to 400 degrees F.
2. 2
   Trim away the brown ends of the brussels sprouts and discard any yellow outer leaves. Slice brussels sprouts in half top to bottom.
3. 3
   Heat oil in a cast-iron pan over medium heat until it shimmers.
4. 4
   Place brussels sprouts cut side down in one layer in the pan. If a few don’t fit, put them around the edge of the pan. Toss garlic and the cubed ham on top and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
5. 5
   Cook until the sprouts begin to brown on the bottom. If some of the sprouts on the outer edge are not becoming brown, rotate them with sprouts in the middle of the pan (where it is hottest). Once the sprouts are mostly browned on the bottom, transfer to the oven and roast, stirring the brussels sprouts, garlic and ham every 5 minutes, until the sprouts are browned and tender; 10 to 20 minutes.
6. 6
   Taste a sprout and add more salt and pepper if needed. Stir in the apple cider vinegar and serve.
