Key Ingredients and Variations

Brussels sprouts: wash them under cold water, then cut the bottom and slice them in half. Brussels sprouts can vary in size greatly, keep that in mind when chopping the carrots so they cook evenly. If they're small, cut the carrots small and if they're bigger, cut them a tad bigger.
Carrots: use any carrots you like, regular or heirloom carrots. Cut them in an angle if they're thin, or you can slice them if they're thicker. Don't cut them too big so they cook through.
Seasoning: salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder never disappoint. You can definitely use any seasoning you enjoy, from different mixes or dry herbs.
Oil: you need a little oil for the veggies to roast well, olive oil and avocado oil are my favorite cause they're more nutritious oils.
Hot honey: I use hot honey which I've been loving on everything lately. It adds a little spice without being overwhelming. If you don't want spice, regular honey or even pure maple syrup would work perfectly too!
