Helpful Tips
For extra crispiness, make sure the Brussels sprouts are well-spread on the baking sheet and not overlapping. You can also add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese before roasting for an extra layer of flavor.
If you can’t find pomegranate seeds, dried cranberries make an excellent alternative, adding a touch of sweetness and color to the dish.
Pairings
This dish pairs beautifully with a roasted turkey or glazed ham, making it a perfect side for your holiday table. For a festive drink, try serving it with a sparkling cranberry punch or a light white wine like a Chardonnay.
