Roasted Brussels Sprouts

1lb of brussels sprouts

1 Lemon

Salt

Black Pepper

Pomegranate Seeds

Final Notes:

-Needed a lot of chutney or else the brie was the most propionate flavor

-Roasting your own sandwich meat was SO much better than deli meat, it being juicy dark meat probably helped too

-Loved the brussels sprouts recipe, but will try pan frying shaved sprouts next time so that it's easier to eat with the seeds, more like a salad.

Kenji's Roasted Beets

Roasted Beets  by   J. Kenji López-Alt link Beets are my wife's favorite food, which means, by extension, that they're the vegetable I roast most often. When done right, they become candy-sweet, while maintaining an intense earthiness. I like to do everything I can to accentuate those flavors. Long story short: I form a tight foil pouch, and roast the beets inside with a little oil and some herbs. Once roasted, they slip right out of their skins under running water. How to Roast Beets, Step by Step There may be more than one way to cook a beet, but there's only one way that I go back to again and again.
