Brussels Sprouts Aren't that Scary

I used to think Brussels sprouts weren't for the faint of heart because they were bitter. I just didn't know how to cook them. Good news, I have discovered the world of roasting. And roasting, my cooking challenged friends, is the easiest thing you can do in the kitchen. After washing the Brussels sprouts, cut the them in half and toss them with olive oil, salt and pepper and place them on a cookie sheet. Roast in the oven at 450 for about 20-25 minutes (check on them after 10 min.), until they start to brown (longer if you like them crispy, yum). If you like your veggies sweet, sprinkle with brown sugar or maple syrup before you roast. You will impress your friends and family with this one. And if I can do this, so can you.
