Roasted brussel sprouts with honey and almonds (gluten-free)

It has only in the past few weeks that I discovered the wonder that is roasted brussel sprouts. Previously I either steamed or boiled these vegetables, which was a big mistake! If you roast brussel sprouts they take on a lovely nutty flavour, that I personally think is fabulous. If you dislike/are allergic to honey or almonds you don’t have to put them in the recipe. Just follow the instructions for roasting and omit the last step.

Materials:

• small casserole or baking sheet with edges
• mixing bowl
• wooden spoon
• oven pre-heated to 400F (205C)

Ingredients:

• 6-8 brussel sprouts per per serving
• 1 tsp olive oil per serving
• 1/2 tbsp honey per serving
• 1 tbsp almonds per serving
• salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Place brussel sprouts, olive oil salt and pepper
2. in mixing bowl, mix until brussel sprouts are completely coated in oil
3. Put brussel sprouts into casserole or onto baking sheet, place in oven for 40-45 minutes or until brussel sprouts are a deep brown and tender. If you don’t like the brussel sprouts to be really browned, cover the casserole with aluminium foil for 1/2 of the roasting time
4. As soon as finished, remove brussel sprouts from oven and place in serving bowl. Add honey and almonds, mix until the sprouts are completely covered with the honey almond mixture
5. Serve immediately. ENJOY!
