I am on a roasted vegetable kick that I just can't believe. Why have I
been cooking vegetables on top of the stove for all of these years?, I
ask myself lately.

Even cauliflower and broccoli roasts great. Brussels sprouts roasted
are what got me going on this kick. They get crispy on the outside and
tender on the inside. S&P, garlic powder, olive oil and shake them
around the pan and in the oven they go.

Roasting may be difficult at Thanksgiving, though, with a big turkey
taking up the whole oven...
