Growing up I always thought that brussels sprouts must be pretty awful to have earned a reputation of tormenting children everywhere. As a result, I never tried them until one of our neighbors made this dish for a potluck dinner. Seriously guys, brussels sprouts are delicious! At least they are when they have been lightly coated with olive oil and roasted until they turn golden brown. If you haven't tried them before, give them a chance. You'll be pleasantly surprised.
