Thanksgiving: Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Sweet Thai Chili Sauce

Continuing our Thanksgiving week, I made one of my favorite (and quite under-used) vegetables, the Brussel sprout.  I love Brussel sprouts!  They can be made sweet or savory and are extra yummy oven roasted!  Although this might not be a traditional sauce for Thanksgiving, it does give you a sweet, spicy flavor to balance out all of the other richness of the meal!
