To make a sweet version, cook for 15 minutes and then top with dried cranberries, chopped walnuts, and a drizzle of honey. For a savory version, top with bacon bits and then cook for 12 minutes.
Next, for both versions, add Brussels sprouts and cook for 3 more minutes. Let cool for 2-3 minutes and serve immediately. These can be stored in the fridge or freezer. Simply reheat at 375°F until hot and bubbly.
