"Brussels sprouts are really quite versatile."
-Yotam Ottolenghi, Chef

The refrigerator light goes on...

Brussels sprouts are great but misunderstood. If you overcook them, they will become bitter, but these, slow roasted with spice and a bit of sweetness, are really delicious: roasted flavor with spice that just happens to be good for you.

This is mildly spicy and if you like spicier food, you can use a bit more cayenne. Add 1/4 teaspoon at a time.
