# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Quick to prepare with only 10 minutes of active prep time.
  • Naturally vegetarian, gluten-free, and packed with vitamins.
  • The combination of fresh parsley and lemon zest adds a refreshing brightness often missing from roasted vegetables.
02 -
  • Ensure the sprouts are in a single layer on the baking sheet; crowding them will cause them to steam rather than roast.
  • Watch the almonds closely while toasting, as they can burn very quickly in a dry skillet.
  • If you have severe allergies, double-check nut packaging for potential cross-contamination.
