  3. Lower the heat some and continue to sauté the onion while stirring. Place on a plate.
  4. Rinse and trim the Brussel sprouts and cut them in half. If they are small, you can fry them whole.

    Anon, I love roasting veggies and to be honest, all they need is salt and pepper. The roasting develops such a deep wonderful flavor and let's the vegetable shine. However, feel free to add whatever spices you like. I love crushed rosemary on mine!
