Note: This recipe appears in the South Beach Diet Parties & Holidays Cookbook. This was my first time cooking Brussels sprouts at home and I must say they wre quite a success. This side dish is bright in color and good for you. You can use this side dish with any flavored protein and your meal will be filling. Oven roasted vegetables are so delicious when they are seasoned properly and they melt in your mouth. I highly recommend using flavor infused olive oil when cooking these.
