How to Make Brussels Sprouts With Almonds And Lemon Rind

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Trim the ends off the Brussels sprouts and halve or quarter them, depending on size. Aim for roughly uniform pieces for even cooking.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  4. Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  5. Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned, shaking the pan halfway through.
  6. While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, toast the sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly golden. Be careful not to burn them.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon zest, lemon juice, remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, and a pinch of salt.
  8. Once the Brussels sprouts are cooked, add them to the bowl with the lemon mixture and toss gently to coat.
  9. Stir in the toasted almonds.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!
