Having a 9-6ish job (not factoring in LA commute time) leaves me with little time for cooking extravagant dishes on the weekdays. But I do believe in cooking healthy, eating seasonally and limiting the amount of processed food. I don't think dishes need to be overly complicated to taste good. All you really need are fresh ingredients, good olive oil, your favorite kosher/sea salt (I prefer Maldons) and cracked pepper.
And there you have it, I just gave you the recipe for roasted brussel sprouts. If you want to dress them up a bit more, I sometimes toss them in a little aged balsamic vinegar or a drizzle of maple syrup. Roasted them on a lightly-sprayed sheet at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
