Roasted Brussels Sprouts Almondine

Due to too much travel and genuine exhaustion, I am pretty much skipping Halloween this year. If the fact that I am not dressing up for Halloween isn’t a clear indicator that I’m overworked, I’m not sure what is.

I love dressing up, but I’m dreading the fact that we are supposed to dress up at work tomorrow. The thought of wearing my Lulu Lemon gear and going as a yoga instructor has crossed my mind more than once.

Fingers crossed something brilliant comes to me in the morning. If not I’m going to not brush my hair, wear my pajamas and go as bed head.

But no matter how tired I am, I still want to eat well. So I’m queuing up a flavor packed dish.

You will need…

2 tablespoon butter
1 lb Brussels sprouts, halved and thinly sliced into lettuce like pieces


3 ounces proscuitto, diced


3 garlic cloves
1 small red onions
1 cup sliced crimini mushrooms
½ cup sliced almonds
1 teaspoon fresh oregano, finely chopped


½ cup shaved Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste

Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees F.

In a large bowl, toss together the Brussels sprouts and olive oil. Season well with salt and pepper.


Spread out the sprouts on a large rimmed baking sheet and roast them until golden brown. About 20 to 30 minutes. Stir about halfway through.


While the sprouts are roasting, heat a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the proscuitto to the pan and cook it until it starts to crisp up. Add in the mushrooms and onions and cook until they are soft. About 5 minutes.

Toss in the almonds, oregano and season with salt and pepper.


When the sprouts are golden brown, toss them in with the almond mixture, top with cheese and serve hot.
