Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Don't know about you, but thought of Brussels sprouts when I was kid induced only one reaction from me for my poor mother: vomit! OK, maybe that is a little too graphic, but it would not be a complete stretch. Fast forward 30 something years later and I was intrigued by a plate while eating out that include those little green monsters. I tried with curiosity and skepticism. To my surprise, I fell in love! That was about a month ago and have been dreaming about cooking those in my very own kitchen ever since that day.
