Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Honey, Apples, and Marjoram

Once the choices are made for a feast’s roasts and meats, it’s time to focus on the vegetables. Brussels sprouts roasted with honey, apples, and marjoram taste almost too good to be just a side dish, so let’s view them as a fabulous cozy weekday dinner as well.

• 1 medium bunch fresh marjoram

Season generously with salt and pepper. Roast for 10 minutes, stir, and continue roasting, stirring every 5 minutes or so, for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown, crispy, and al dente.
