Add Brussels sprouts and coat in oil. Season with salt and pepper. Cook Brussels sprouts 2 to 3 minutes to begin to soften, then add broth.

• Gently toss all ingredients in a large bowl until vegetables are coated with oil.
• Spread evenly on baking sheets.
• Roast 20 to 25 minutes stirring once until vegetables are slightly charred and tender.
• If preparing the asparagus and onion ahead, store them in a plastic bag large enough to accommodate the rest of the ingredients so you won't have to dirty a bowl.

Steps:

• Butter 8x8x2-inch glass baking dish. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms; sauté until juices have cooked away, about 10 minutes. Transfer mushrooms to large bowl.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in same skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions; sauté until brown and tender but still holding shape, about 6 minutes. Add to bowl with mushrooms. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in same skillet over medium heat. Add brussels sprouts; sauté until browned, about 10 minutes. Add 1/2 cup broth to skillet. Cover and simmer until brussels sprouts are tender, stirring often, about 10 minutes. Uncover and cook until liquid evaporates, about 1 minute. Add to bowl with mushrooms.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in same skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and thyme; sauté 1 minute. Add flour and stir 1 minute. Gradually add remaining 2 cups broth and cream and bring to boil, whisking often. Boil until reduced to 1 1/4 cups, about 8 minutes. Mix sauce into vegetables in bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Cut your vegetables into serving-sized pieces. Peel the ones you like peeled. (For potatoes cut them and wash off the starch. For eggplants, slice them, salt them a bit and let them set until they begin to "weep," then squeeze out as much moisture as you can.)
• Dry the pieces off and toss them with oil or melted butter (just a LITTLE oil or butter--part of the beauty of this dish is that it's fairly light).
• Lay them out on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in a 375F oven for around 20-30 minutes, or until everything starts to look slightly browner than when you put it in.
• Arrange the vegetables on a plate and sprinkle with whatever condiments you like (or have around).
• Note 1: You can roast a piece of fish or chicken (or marinated tofu) on the baking sheet with the vegetables. It makes a nice little dinner. Not much clean-up effort either
• Note 2: This method also works with some fruits--apples, pears, pineapple, stone fruits, figs, bananas, etc. Use butter and sprinkle on a bit of sugar, honey and/or vanilla. Serve plain or with ice, sour or whipped cream

Steps:

• Pull off any tough outer leaves of the sprouts. Using a paring knife, make a couple of crossed gashes in the base of each sprout.
• Put the sprouts in a saucepan and add water to cover and salt. Bring to a boil and cook 10 to 12 minutes, or until tender. Drain well.
• Heat the butter in a saucepan and add the onion, cumin, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until onion is wilted. Add the sprouts and stir until the sprouts are coated with butter and are hot. Serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425° F.
• Trim onions, keeping root ends intact, and cut each lengthwise into 6 wedges, keeping wedges intact. In a large bowl toss onions with oil and salt and pepper to taste. In 2 shallow baking pans arrange onions in one layer and roast in upper and lower thirds of oven 20 minutes. Carefully turn onions over and switch position of pans. Roast onions 20 minutes more, or until just tender and some edges are golden brown.
• Trim Brussels sprouts and have ready a large bowl of ice and cold water. In a large saucepan of boiling salted water cook sprouts until just tender, 8 to 10 minutes, and drain in colander. Transfer sprouts to ice water to stop cooking and drain in colander. Vegetables may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled separately, covered.
• In a small bowl stir together mustard and water. In a 12-inch heavy skillet cook onions and sprouts in butter over moderately high heat, stirring, until heated through and stir in mustard mixture and salt and pepper to taste.
