How to Make Roasted Brussels Sprouts

By

That's probably because she had them steamed or boiled until they were a pile of bitter mush. Gross. I don't blame her. Then someone in the foodie world tried roasting them. Trimming their ends off, slicing them in half and letting them get nice and charred and crispy. Suddenly Brussels sprouts … [Read more...]
