Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Pomegranate and Pine Nuts
Caramelized Brussels sprouts are tossed with fresh pomegranate arils and toasted pine nuts for a bright, crunchy finish. Ready in about 30 minutes and perfect for the holidays or any weeknight.
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*
