If you have avoided Brussels sprouts, you probably have not had them roasted. The high heat of a roasting oven turns these little cabbages into one of nature’s great delights: nutty and sweet with the occasional crunchy browned edge. Matched with the depth of flavor of browned onions and tart cranberries, sprouts are a treat by themselves. But added to the combo of vitamin and mineral-rich greens, they become a low calorie delight that is good for you as well.
