My Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Brussels sprouts are a much-maligned vegetable yet steamed or roasted I just love them.  Roasting brings out their sweetness, and my roasted Brussels sprouts are an easy, festive dish that, with an assist from walnuts, cranberries, and shallots, will give you a Holiday side destined to get others to enjoy Brussels sprouts as much as I do.   It is no accident Brussels sprouts show up around the Holidays. They are one of nature's sources of vitamin C and being cruciferous veggies to boot, they bring a slew of phytonutrients and minerals that our bodies need as the sun disappears over the winter horizon earlier and earlier. Try them!
