Roasted Brussels sprouts with sun-dried tomatoes delivers that bitter-meets-sweet combo I can't get enough of. The caramelized edges, the juicy pops of tomato, the whole "how is this so simple" thing. Yes please.
Like my pomegranate Brussels sprouts recipe, halved sprouts are roasted until browned and crispy. Then the magic happens.
A quick swirl of bright, tangy vegan sun-dried tomato pesto made in minutes in a food processor turns this tray of sprouts into a holiday-worthy side dish that's just as welcome on a Tuesday.
