CONFESSION: Roasting is how I won over my brussel sprout hating parents. Yes, it was sly, but I accept full credit.  While home from college visiting my family, I decided to make roasted brussel sprouts and carrots for my parents who had some intense, emotional dislike for these baby cabbages. They had memories, bad memories of ‘dead,’ smelly sprouts permeating their house when they were a kid. My parents were skeptical, but I made them curious enough to try their first bite in over 30 years!
