I like to roast things

because I just discovered roasting things, and roasted things are delicious. The two best things so far are beets and Brussels sprouts.

Beets:

1) Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2) Wash beets, chop off the ends, peel if you don't like the skin (I do like the skin).
3) Wrap the beets in aluminum foil.
4) Place them in the oven. Check them in 45 minutes by sticking a fork through the aluminum and into the beet. If the beet is tender, it's done. It may take up to 1 1/2 hours, depending on the size of your beets.

Brussels Sprouts:

1) Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2) Wash Brussels sprouts, chop off ends, and cut Brussels sprouts in half.
3) Toss with good olive oil and spread on baking sheet.
4) Roast 15 minutes on lower rack of oven.
5) Remove , sprinkle with 3 cloves minced garlic and good salt.
6) Roast 10 more minutes, till soft with crispy parts.

(I stole this recipe from somewhere, but can't remember where...)
