Butter-Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Health considerations aside, this recipe from chef Marshall Paulsen of Minneapolis' Birchwood Cafe will make you question the wisdom of always roasting veggies in olive oil. The butter browns to aromatic perfection while the sprouts cook--genius! If you want to fancy the sprouts up, add the bacon and pomegranate seeds.
