Roasted Brussels Sprouts With a Pomegranate Reduction image

If you thought you did not like brussels sprouts, this recipe will definitely change your mind. The first time my grandmother served roasted brussels sprouts to me, I could not stop eating them. When brussels sprouts are roasted, they become crispy on the outside and sweet and delicate on the inside. The addition of a warm pomegranate glaze, and the cool, sweet pomegranate seeds, makes these brussels sprouts a festive delight.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound brussels sprouts, washed, trimmed and halved
2 tablespoons olive oil
Fine sea salt, to taste
1 cup pomegranate juice
1/3 cup sugar (can be maple, brown, date, coconut, granulated)
3 tablespoons pomegranate seeds

Steps:

  • Position the baking rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 425[dg]F. In a large bowl, toss the brussels sprouts with oil and a few pinches of salt. Spread the brussels sprouts over a shallow baking pan and roast for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until the sprouts are lightly browned and crispy.
  • While the brussels sprouts are roasting, in a small saucepan combine the pomegranate juice with the sugar and set over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. When the liquid comes to a simmer, reduce the heat to medium-low and gently simmer until the liquid is reduced to one quarter of the original amount and is thick and syrupy, about 25 minutes. Toward the end, watch the reduction carefully - it can go from thick to burned in a matter of seconds. Transfer the reduction to a cooling rack and let it come to room temperature. Do not refrigerate.
  • Drizzle the reduction over the brussels sprouts and sprinkle with the pomegranate seeds.

Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
2 cloves garlic, smashed

  • When the brussels sprouts are done roasting, toss them with the toasted walnuts and the pomegranate seeds. Drizzle with the pomegranate molasses (about 1 teaspoon or so), if using. Season with flaky salt.

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts (ends trimmed and outer leaves removed (large sprouts halved))
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt + more to taste
2 ounces feta cheese (crumbled)
1/4 cup pomegranate arils
1 tablespoon pomegranate molasses

Steps:

Tips for Making Brussels Sprouts with Pomegranate Seeds:

1. Choose Fresh Brussels Sprouts: Opt for firm and vibrant green Brussels sprouts with tightly closed leaves. Avoid any with yellowing or wilted leaves. 2. Trim and Clean the Sprouts: Remove any outer leaves that may be bruised or discolored. Trim the stem end and slice the sprouts in half or quarters, depending on their size. Rinse them thoroughly under cold water. 3. Pomegranate Seeds: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh pomegranate seeds. Cut the pomegranate in half and hold it over a bowl. Use a wooden spoon to tap the back of the pomegranate, releasing the seeds. 4. Crispy Texture: To achieve a crispy texture for the Brussels sprouts, roast them at high heat (400°F or 200°C) on a sheet pan. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting. 5. Roasted Nuts: Adding roasted nuts like almonds or walnuts to the dish enhances its flavor and adds a crunchy texture. Toast the nuts in a pan or oven until fragrant. 6. Fresh Herbs: Incorporate fresh herbs like cilantro, parsley, or mint for a pop of freshness and flavor. Chop the herbs finely and sprinkle them over the roasted Brussels sprouts before serving.
