# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Easy cleanup with everything cooked on a single sheet pan.
  • A sophisticated flavor profile that balances savory thyme and garlic with sweet honey and grapes.
  • Naturally gluten-free and packed with protein.
  • Quick preparation time of just 15 minutes.
02 -
  • Ensure Brussels sprouts are cut to a similar size for even cooking.
