Roasted Brussels sprouts with shallots
This is a dish to convert sprout shirkers - it's a delicious, easy way to serve sprouts, and one that's likely to encourage you to dish them up more often. For a change, try a sprinkling of cumin or caraway seeds instead of thyme.

Method
Preheat the oven to 190°C/Gas Mark 5. Put the Brussels sprouts and shallots or onions into a large roasting dish, trickle over the oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat, then tuck in the thyme sprigs.
Roast for about 35 minutes, giving a good stir halfway through, until everything is a bit crispy, brown and caramelised.
Squeeze some lemon juice over the roasted sprouts, along with a sprinkling of fresh thyme if you like, and serve.
