Ingredients

  • 2 pounds brussels sprouts, cleaned and cut in half
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • sea salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup Chopped walnuts, toasted
  • 1/3 cup fresh pomegranate seeds
  • 2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses (see notes)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with the 1/4 cup of olive oil. 
  2. Spread the sprouts evenly across a baking sheet. You can line the tray with parchment for easier cleanup, if desired (the pictures here show aluminum foil, but I no longer use that to line my trays). Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. I use around 3/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper in the beginning, then add more to taste later, if needed.
  3. Roast for 15 minutes, until some of the outer leaves start to blacken around the edges. Bite through one to test for tenderness and doneness. I like them quite tender.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, toss the roasted Brussels sprouts with the toasted walnuts. Season with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
  5. Place on a serving dish and drizzle with the pomegranate molasses, then sprinkle with pomegranate seeds. Serve.

Notes

  • You will also need: mixing bowl, sheet tray, aluminum foil
  • Notes: I recommend using the pomegranate molasses recipe from this post. I do not recommend using bottled pomegranate molasses, unless it is also sweetened. Plain pomegranate molasses will be too tart here. Some commercially available versions now come sweetened, which will work just fine here-- though I always find homemade to be the tastiest. I've allowed 30 minutes prep time for the Brussels, as they can be tough to clean, but if you're using precut and pre-cleaned sprouts, this recipe's prep time will be much shorter.
