5. I second the Brussels sprouts

The key to cooking them porperly is cutting them up. I like to quarter them, but halves are good, too.

My neighbor would cut them up and mix them in olive oil with chunks of carrot, then bake them

My own way was to cut them up, oil them, put them on a baking sheet to roast, then add some finely minced garlic and chopped sweet pepper (any color but green) for the last 5 minutes or so.

Taming the sprout is easy as long as you have a knife. I don't think I'm alone in regarding those "cute little baby cabbages" of ,my youth with extreme horror---overcooked and slimy on the outside, raw and bitter inside. Cut them up, they're very nice.
