Step 3

Meanwhile, place a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the butter and cook until it is light golden brown and smells nutty and toasted, then add the almonds. Cook, stirring gently, to toast the almonds, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the lemon extract, red pepper flakes and the roasted Brussels sprouts and toss well to coat. Turn the heat off and stir in the grated pecorino, then transfer to a platter. Garnish with more cheese and serve.
