Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs Fresh Brussels Sprouts trimmed and halved
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil extra virgin
  • 2 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar good quality
  • 1 tbsp Pure Maple Syrup
  • 1 tsp Granulated Garlic
  • 1/2 tsp Himalayan Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Pepper freshly ground
  • 1/2 cup Dried Cranberries soaked in warm water
  • 1/3 cup Almonds sliced or slivered

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. In a small bowl, soak dried cranberries in warm water, set aside.
  • In large bowl, whisk together Olive Oil, Balsamic Vinegar, Maple Syrup, Salt, Pepper, and Granulated Garlic.
  • Trim ends of Brussels sprouts and cut in half. If Brussels are large, quarter them. (This can be done a day ahead).
  • Put cut Brussels in marinade, stir until coated. Place on lightly greased pan, cut-side down. Discard excess marinade (or use it for a salad dressing).
  • Place in oven for 17-25 minutes. When it looks like they will be done in a few minutes, pull the oven rack out slightly and carefully sprinkle the almonds on the pan. Push back into oven for a few more minutes. They will be done when the Brussels are slightly charred. If they still aren’t caramelizing, keep them in the oven until they are. Good things come to those who wait. Pull out of oven when caramelized.
  • Sprinkle the drained cranberries over the Brussels and almonds. Using a sturdy spatula, scrape the Brussels, almonds and cranberries off the pan and into a bowl. Sprinkle with a little salt and a few grinds of fresh pepper (if desired) and Enjoy!

Notes

This recipe can easily be halved for a smaller crowd.
Sub pecans for almonds.
