1/4 cup sliced almonds
Bake for 5-6 minutes until the almonds are lightly browned, shaking the pan every minute.
Remove from the oven and transfer to a separate plate to keep from browning further.
Raise the oven temperature to 400 degrees F.
Use a sharp knife to slice the brussels sprouts thinly lengthwise, or you can do this in a food processor with the slicer attachment.

Bake for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the brussels sprouts are tender and the edges are browned slightly.
While the brussels sprouts are roasting, combine the rest of the ingredients (except almonds), in a large mixing bowl and toss together.

Notes

Serving: This roasted brussel sprout salad is delicious both warm or cold! I really enjoyed this paleo and vegan brussels sprouts salad when it was warm, but the leftovers were also really delicious!

Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat or serve cold, both are delicious. The flavors melded together even more while sitting in the fridge. If you want leftovers, I suggest you make a double batch because you'll want to eat it again and again.

Homemade Salad Dressing: This maple balsamic dressing (or maple balsamic vinaigrette) recipe is such an easy homemade salad dressing that goes great with any salad! Its simple ingredients include olive oil, maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, dijon mustard, lemon juice, and oregano.
