Roasted Brussels sprouts with toasted almonds

Roasting vegetables brings out their natural sweetness and releases a lot of flavor without any additional fat or calories. Try this method with other thick-cut vegetables such as onion wedges, pepper chunks, and carrot sticks. This recipe takes just half an hour to make and requires only six ingredients, and it's the perfect side dish to go along with any entrée. The Brussels sprouts are tossed with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper before roasting in the oven. In the meantime, sliced almonds get toasted in a skillet and beautifully complement the roasted Brussels. It doesn't get much easier than that.
