  • 2

    Carefully remove the brussels sprouts from the oven and sprinkle over all of the almonds. Return to the oven for 20 to 30 minutes, until brussels sprouts are easily pierced with a fork and slightly crispy. (Cook longer if you like them crispier, just watch out for the almonds toasting too much).
