Ingredients
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, prepare the balsamic glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the balsamic vinegar and honey. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until it has thickened slightly.
- Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the roasted Brussels sprouts and toss to coat.
- Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds before serving. Enjoy!
Helpful Tips
- Prep Ahead: You can trim and halve the Brussels sprouts up to a day in advance and store them in the fridge.
- Variations: Add a sprinkle of crushed red pepper for a spicy kick, or top with toasted nuts for added crunch.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to retain their crispiness.
- Substitutions: Use maple syrup instead of honey for a different nuanced sweetness, or apple cider vinegar if you’re out of balsamic vinegar.
Pairings
This delightful dish pairs beautifully with roasted chicken or a hearty autumn soup. For a complete meal, serve alongside mashed potatoes and a glass of crisp white wine like Chardonnay or a warm apple cider.
