HOW TO MAKE IT: Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Cut the ends off each brussel sprout, and then slice them into halves, put them in a bowl and mix in olive oil, garlic powder and black pepper. Place them on a cookie sheet and bake for about 20 minutes. Chop or crush raw almonds and set aside. Remove brussel sprouts from oven and let cool off. The sprouts should be a little crispy on top and somewhat tender all over but not mushy. Once cool, chop the brussel sprouts.
