CRUCIFEROUS VEGETABLES

Vegetables from the Cruciferous family - brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale and the like are awfully good for us.  They've got tons of vitamins, fiber, and disease fighting chemicals.  But let's face it - traditional cooking methods such as boiling or steaming do very little to make these veggies appetizing.

This week we'd like to offer you not so much a recipe as a "technique" - and, truth be told, a little shameless product promotion on our part.  For the "heartier" cruciferous vegetables such as brussels sprouts and cauliflower, try roasting them instead - simply cut them up and arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet or casserole dish and drizzle them with a little olive oil.  Roast in a hot (400 degree or so) oven until they become a little charred and caramelized (you can cover them with foil initially to speed up the process and then remove the foil near the end).

Don't overcook!  When is the last time anyone told you - "These vegetables are delicious - and so mushy!"  Then, for the last 2 or 3 minutes of roasting, add 2 or 3 tablespoons of STONEWALL KITCHEN MAINE MAPLE GLAZE and toss with the veggies.  It's amazing flavor and sweetness pairs perfectly with the strong flavor of the vegetables - even your kids will want seconds!
