Notes
- Pomegranate Molasses - This delectable ingredient adds sticky, tangy sweetness to everything it touches. It can be found online, at Whole Foods, or at international grocery stores, or you can make your own by reducing pomegranate juice with sugar until syrupy. You're also welcome to use balsamic vinegar (preferably reduced until thick and drizzle-able) if needed.
- Pomegranate Seeds - Check out my tutorial on how to get the seeds out of a pomegranate; it's not that hard! You can also opt to buy the seeds in small plastic cups to cut back on prep.
- Frozen is fine. Feel free to use frozen cubes of butternut squash and/or frozen brussels sprouts for this recipe. There's no need to defrost them first, though you may need to add a few minutes of cook time to get them nice and golden-brown.
