Roasted Brussel Sprouts

First time I had brussel sprouts was at G's house - fresh from her garden. Delicious! I had no idea why there were the dreaded vegetable of commercials. They're everywhere at the markets now so I finally bought some. Not as good as garden grown, but still tasty.

• 2 handfuls of brussel sprouts (or however many you want to eat)
• butter
• sea salt
• pepper
• garlic cloves (to taste, I did 2)

1. Chop off stem of brussel sprouts. Optional: Cut in half.
2. Place in baking dish (cut half down unless you like them dry).
3. Dot with butter. Sprinkle with sea salt and pepper.
4. Cut garlic in half. Place in dish.
5. Bake at 375 for 20 minutes or until desired tenderness. It's ok if the outer layer goes black - the inside will still be tender.
