# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • Zesty & Bright: Fresh lemon zest and juice cut through the earthiness of the sprouts.
  • Perfect Texture: Achieving that ideal balance of golden, crispy edges and tender centers.
  • Quick & Nutritious: A healthy, vegetarian, and gluten-free side ready in just 35 minutes.
02 -
  • Cut-Side Down: Placing the sprouts cut-side down on the baking sheet ensures maximum caramelization and crispiness.
  • Fresh Is Best: Use fresh lemon juice and zest rather than bottled for the most vibrant citrus flavor.
  • Allergen Care: This dish contains tree nuts (almonds); always double-check packaging for cross-contamination if serving someone with allergies.
