If serving other family or  guests, you could add ¼ cup Panko crumbs and ¼ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese to their portion. Best to skip this version until you are at your goal weight. Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425 F. Lightly grease or line a large rimmed baking sheet (13x18 or a 10x15) with parchment paper, set aside
2. Combine all the ingredients to a large mixing bowl. Toss to coat well.
3. Spread the vegetables evenly in a single layer over prepared baking sheet, arranging the Brussels sprouts cut-side down. (do not overcrowd - use two baking sheets as needed)
4. Roast in preheated oven for 25 to 35 minutes (stirring half-way through) or until vegetables are tender and lightly browned. If you like them slightly charred, you can leave them in longer.
5.  Remove from oven and transfer to serving dish.
