Roasted Brussel Sprouts

Brussels sprouts are essentially tiny cabbages.  To me in many ways brussels sprouts are the perfect vegetable. They are filled with chlorophyll, the light absorbing miracle molecule that contributes vastly to healthy, glowing skin. They are high in fiber, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals but most important of all, they taste wonderful and are simple to prepare, especially in the oven. This simple marinade tinged with one of my favorite spices, ajwain, complements the earthiness of the tiny cabbage beautifully. Do not be alarmed by the amount of ginger, it is not only fantastic for your body, but tastes wonderful and elevates accompanying flavors. Roasting the brussels sprouts, despite putting large quantities of ginger, in a subtle way mellows the flavor and blends it easily with the petite cabbage.
