Serves 4

INGREDIENTS

2 pounds Brussel sprouts, cleaned, trimmed and halved lengthwise

1 medium red onion, chopped medium
½ cup fresh mint leaves, torn into small pieces
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon almond oil (optional)

PREPARATION

Pre-heat oven to 400°F and place all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Next, place in a heavy bottom ceramic or glass baking dish. Bake for about 20 minutes, making sure to shuffle and toss brussel sprouts, apples and onion around the pan while baking to allow for even brownness.
