I love brussels sprouts. I bake mine similiarly but add some grated
Parmesan cheese on the top and butter to the baking dish along with the
splash of olive oil.

If you are cooking whole brussels sprouts, Mom always says to cut an X in
the bottom stem after paring. I don't know why, but this really works to
make them taste less bitter. And there's always one *really* bitter sprout
in the basket!
