Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Roasting a vegetable brings out a sweetness.  Since brussels sprouts have a high sulfur content they should be cooked quickly to avoid that rotten egg flavor; roasting is a nice alternative to boiling.  You must use high heat to get the proper effect.  And, don't judge me for loving brussels sprouts!!
