Roasted Brussels sprouts with walnuts
Brussels sprouts may not have been your favorite growing up, but they're really a delicious food that you can do a lot with. Roasting them softens the bitter taste that some people detect, and the olive oil and sea salt enhance their natural tastiness. Cruciferous vegetable like Brussels sprouts, broccoli and cauliflower have been shown to fight colon and prostate cancers. Roast these with walnuts, which can help prevent breast and other cancers.

- coarse sea salt
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- Parmesan cheese (optional)
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
- Cut the Brussels sprouts in half, trying to make sure each piece is a similar size so they'll roast evenly.
