Follow these simple steps to make your amazing Brussels Sprout Salad:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Brussels Sprouts: In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper until well coated.
3. Roast Sprouts: Spread the Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and tender, flipping halfway through.
4. Toast Nuts: While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, toast the sliced almonds in a small skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until golden and fragrant. Stir frequently to avoid burning.
5. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), Dijon mustard, and minced garlic until well combined.
6. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the roasted Brussels sprouts, toasted almonds, dried cranberries, and Parmesan cheese (if using).
7. Add Dressing: Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine all the ingredients.
8. Garnish: Top with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and added freshness.
9. Serve: Transfer to a serving platter or bowl and enjoy!
