Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse and trim the Brussels sprouts, removing any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Cut them in half lengthwise.
Toss the Brussels sprouts in a large bowl with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet, cut side down, and roast for 18-20 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown, turning them halfway during cooking.
While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, prepare the lemon vinaigrette. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, and minced garlic until well combined.
In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the sliced almonds for about 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until they are golden brown and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the Brussels sprouts are done roasting, transfer them to a serving bowl. Drizzle the lemon vinaigrette over them and toss gently to coat evenly.
Add the toasted almonds and Parmesan cheese (if using) to the salad and toss again. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve the crispy Brussels sprout salad warm or at room temperature, garnished with extra slices of lemon if desired.
