Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Almonds and Manchego Cheese

Ingredients

• 2 pounds Brussels sprouts, cut in half
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 0.33 cup sliced almonds
• 2 ounces Manchego cheese, shredded
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 lemon, zested

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
2. Toss Brussels sprouts with olive oil, then arrange them on a baking sheet, cut-side down. Season generously with salt and pepper.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until the Brussels sprouts begin to get tender, approximately 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with sliced almonds. Return to the oven and continue baking until the sprouts begin to crisp and brown on the edges, and the almonds are nicely toasted, about 15 to 20 minutes more.
4. Remove from the oven and transfer the roasted Brussels sprouts to a medium serving bowl. Add the Manchego cheese, lemon juice, and lemon zest, then mix gently until the sprouts are well coated with the citrus dressing. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
