Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Pomegranates
These Brussels Sprouts are great for Thanksgiving, a weeknight meal, or for a tasty, light lunch. They have incredible flavors with sweetness from the pomegranates and savory from the sprouts!
This Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Pomegranates recipe is all about the balance of flavors. I kept it really simple, so the Brussels sprouts, pomegranate seeds, and balsamic vinegar shine, and the sweet and savory elements just have a delicious little party.
Making Perfect Roasted Veggies
I used my latest veggie-roasting secret here: higher temp, shorter time! This gets them nice and crispy on the outside while staying juicy and delicious on the inside. Blast them with more heat (in this case, 450) right off the bat and it just tastes better! TRUST ME.
