NOTES: 

• If you have a spray bottle you can use for the olive oil it makes it easier to distribute the oil
• The garlic mushrooms and tomato are optional if you don't have these ingredients on hand or you just want to keep things super simple
  
• This recipe also works well if you swap in broccoli for the Brussels sprouts
• Try replacing half the Brussels sprouts with some mini potatoes; cut into about 1" pieces
