Melt the coconut oil and toss with Brussels and sea salt, then spread in an even layer onto a baking sheet.

Toast for 10-15 minutes until soft and golden brown. It may be shorter or longer depending on your oven temperature. They’re best when very tender and a dark golden brown, so use that as your gauge.
