    also, roasted cauiflower is amazing

    To answer the rhetorical question in the original post, it's called the Maillard reaction: roasting veggies in oil releases hidden sugars. The science of deliciousness!

    I never had them roasted before, but I'm glad others leave them alone so I can have as MANY AS I WANT!! Once I went to an all-you-can-eat buffet and ate a plate of brussel sprouts!! DELISH!!

    i am addicted to them. I make them about 3 times a week and I hog the whole plate and refuse to share with my husband and kids lol it is sooo sad.

    but today for lunch all I WANT IS ROASTED BUSSEL SPROUTS. we are having company over and everyone who is coming over loves my spouts and have asked me to make them, so i bought 5 fresh bags of them and the sad thing is I WANT THEM ALL TO MYSELF. I told them they can eat the broccoli and ribeye but leave my spouts alone.

    How do you make yours? I've never had them.

    Thank you, all! I feel so NORMAL with this thread. I too love brussels sprouts... just rediscovered them this year when a friend showed me how to prepare and boil them, then accidentally almost burned them. We loved the "roasted" flavor! Now I'm hooked. I will definitely try these real roasted recipes! (My dear mother was an atrocious cook whose cooking scared me away from brussels sprouts, eggplant, and several other vegetables, but I am on a mission this year to increase my veggies and learn how to cook them properly.) What a great thread!!
