11. I'm spoiled - I can get whole stalks of them in the fall

I live near Monterey county, where there are a lot of sprouts farms (and other brassicas, and artichokes) so I can get stalks of sprouts that were growing a couple of hours ago. Everything else - even the supposedly fresh ones in stores - pales by comparison.

Just keep the preparation simple - I roast them, then toss with the good olive oil.
