- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted

- Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are golden brown and crispy.
- While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, toast the sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden and fragrant. Be sure to stir frequently to avoid burning.

- Sprinkle the toasted almonds on top before serving.
Helpful Tips

- If you prefer a sweeter touch, add a teaspoon of honey to the balsamic glaze.
- Make sure to spread the Brussels sprouts out on the tray to ensure even roasting.
- This recipe is versatile—try adding dried cranberries or pomegranate seeds for a festive twist.
Storage Instructions
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to retain crispiness.
Suggested Pairings
