Parmesan Brussels Sprouts

This is the first time I cooked brussel sprouts ... an easy to make dish. I forgot to time it so the times listed are estimates. I changed a few things but kept it pretty close to the recipe on the package. The Maui onion is a sweet onion similar to the Viladia onion. You may want to increase the seasonings to overcome the strong brussel sprout flavor...at least the one I ate was strong!
