Ingredients
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup balsamic glaze
- 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional, for added crunch)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until they are tender and have crisp, slightly charred edges.

- Sprinkle the pomegranate seeds over the Brussels sprouts, and add the chopped pecans if using.
- Serve immediately, and enjoy the burst of flavors with your loved ones!
Helpful Tips
- For an easier clean-up, line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
- If you can’t find balsamic glaze, you can make your own by reducing balsamic vinegar with a bit of honey or brown sugar until it thickens.
Storage Instructions
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply pop them back in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through.
Pairings
This dish pairs wonderfully with roasted chicken or turkey. For a complete holiday feast, serve alongside cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, and a glass of crisp white wine or sparkling apple cider.
