Roasted Brussels Sprouts w/ Pine Nuts

2 lbs brussels sprouts
1 t dried thyme
1 t dried oregano
1/4 cup pine nuts
1 t garlic powder
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
kosher salt and ground pepper

Heat the oven to 400. Cut the bottoms off the brussels sprouts and rinse. Cut them in half and put them on a cookie sheet. Add the thyme, oregano, pine nuts, garlic powder and salt + pepper. Drizzle with the olive oil and vinegar and toss to coat. Cook for 20 minutes, then give it a good stir, and cook for 5 minutes more or until everything is nice and caramelized.

I'm going to try brussel sprouts!  I've heard they're really good if you know how to cook them.  I found this recipe at Word of Wisdom Living.  I'll let you know how it goes!
