- 1 1/4 lb. Brussels sprouts, trimmed and quartered lengthwise
- 5 Tbs. canola or grapeseed oil, divided
- 3/4 cup millet
- 2/3 cup toasted chopped walnuts
- 2/3 cup chopped dried cranberries

1. Preheat oven to 475°F. Toss Brussels sprouts with 2 Tbs. oil in large bowl, and season with salt, if desired. Arrange sprouts in single layer in 13- x 9-inch baking dish. Roast 20 to 24 minutes, or until brown and tender, stirring once. Cool 5 minutes.
