Simple roasted Brussels sprouts get an instant flavor upgrade when they're tossed with sweet-tart pomegranate arils and buttery pine nuts. This delicious seasonal side dish is easy to make any night of the week and perfect for the holidays.
Place the Brussels sprouts in a large mixing bowl with the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and salt and pepper. Use your hands or kitchen tongs to toss well until the sprouts are coated.
1 pound Brussels sprouts, 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, 1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup. Transfer the sprouts to the baking sheet and spread out in a single layer.
Cook in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes, tossing halfway though, or until the sprouts are browned on the outside and tender when pierced with a fork.
Transfer to a serving bowl or dish, toss with the pomegranate arils and pine nuts, and serve.
½ cup pomegranate arils, 2 Tablespoons pine nuts*
