Pomegranate Glazed Brussels Sprouts (Print)

Crisp Brussels sprouts tossed in sweet-tart pomegranate glaze with bright pops of fresh seeds.

# Components:

→ Vegetables

01 - 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil

→ Glaze

03 - 1/2 cup pomegranate juice
04 - 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
05 - 1 tablespoon honey
06 - 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
07 - 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

→ Garnish

08 - 1/3 cup fresh pomegranate seeds
09 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper. Arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, cut side down.
03 - Roast for 20–25 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the sprouts are golden and crisp at the edges.
04 - While the sprouts are roasting, combine pomegranate juice, balsamic vinegar, and honey in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces by half and thickens into a syrupy consistency. Remove from heat.
05 - Transfer the roasted Brussels sprouts to a serving bowl. Drizzle with the prepared pomegranate glaze and toss gently to coat evenly.
06 - Sprinkle with fresh pomegranate seeds and chopped parsley just before serving.
