With all the excess of the holidays, this festive yet healthy side dish is a refreshing addition to the Christmas menu. Roasted Brussel Sprouts and Red Pepper is a simple yet elegant dish to serve your company, or take along to a holiday potluck. The green and red colors of the veggies are perfect for the season and the addition of sliced almonds adds a nice touch of white, and a nice crunch. The flavors work very well together. Roasted Chestnuts would be a festive change out for the almonds.
