- **Black Pepper:** 1/2 tsp2.5 grams. For that slight, spicy edge.
- **Garlic Powder:** 1/2 tsp2.5 grams. Because what's a dish without some garlic?
- **Lemon Juice:** 2 tbsp30 ml. Freshness in a squeeze.
Instructions
Fire up your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Take the Brussels sprouts, treat them to a good wash. Trim any weary-looking outer leaves and cut them in half.
Whip out a large mixing bowl. In goes the Brussels sprouts, olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Mix them up! Ensure every sprout gets a fair share of the seasoning.
Arrange them on a baking sheet. Parchment paper underneath works like a charm.
Let them roast and dance in the oven for 20 minutes.
Time for the star: Sprinkle those almond flakes over the sprouts.
Another 5 minutes in the oven should do. Golden Brussels and toasted almonds are what you're aiming for.
Once out, a drizzle of lemon juice will set everything right.
Notes
1. Want that extra crunch? Toast the almond flakes separately.
2. Watch out for those last 5 minutes. Those almonds can be sneaky and get burnt.
3. Fresh ground black pepper? Game-changer.
