Brussels sprouts, with their unique flavor and texture, are a versatile vegetable that can be prepared in a variety of ways. When combined with walnuts and pomegranate, they create a delightful dish that is both flavorful and visually appealing. The nutty flavor of the walnuts complements the slightly bitter taste of the Brussels sprouts, while the pomegranate adds a touch of sweetness and crunch. This combination of flavors and textures makes Brussels sprouts with walnuts and pomegranate a popular side dish or main course.

ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH POMEGRANATE AND HAZELNUTS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Put the Brussels sprouts in a medium roasting pan; toss with the canola oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven until light golden brown and a knife inserted into the centers goes in without any resistance, about 45 minutes.
- Transfer the sprouts to a large bowl and add the pomegranate molasses, pomegranate seeds, hazelnuts, and lime and orange zests. Season with salt as needed.
BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH WALNUTS AND POMEGRANATE
Roasting brussels sprouts brings out their nutty sweetness and keeps them crisp-crunchy around the edges. Tossing them with walnuts and tangy, jewel-like pomegranate seeds adds texture and brightness. It's worth seeking out pomegranate molasses (widely available in most large grocery stores) to finish this dish. But if you can't find it, don't let it stop you from make this celebration-worthy side.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, toss brussels sprouts with the olive oil. Season well with the salt and black pepper and toss again. Spread everything evenly on a sheet pan cut-side-down and roast until crisp and deeply golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes, flipping the sprouts halfway through to ensure even browning.
- Meanwhile, toast the walnuts in a skillet over medium-low heat, stirring frequently to ensure they don't burn, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- 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.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil; insert steamer rack. Add Brussels sprouts; steam until bright green and just tender, about 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH POMEGRANATE SEEDS
Steps:
- Coat a large saute pan with olive oil; add the garlic and red pepper and heat over medium heat. Cook until the garlic has turned a lovely golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes, then remove it from the pan and ditch it -- it has fulfilled its garlic destiny! Add the pancetta and walnuts and cook until the pancetta is crispy and brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the Brussels sprout leaves and toss to combine. Season with salt, cover and cook until the sprouts have wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the lid, raise the heat to medium-high and let the leaves brown and "frizzle," 8 to 10 minutes more. Taste and season with salt if needed. Serve garnished with the pomegranate seeds.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with the 1/4 cup of olive oil.
- 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.
- 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.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the roasted Brussels sprouts with the toasted walnuts. Season with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
- Place on a serving dish and drizzle with the pomegranate molasses, then sprinkle with pomegranate seeds. Serve.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS #1 (ROASTED WITH WALNUTS)
Coming from a Standard American Diet (SAD) background, Brussels sprouts have not been a regular part of my diet. Now I understand the importance of them, in part because of websites such as http://www.WHFoods.com, where they write about the benefits in great detail. People with existing and untreated thyroid problems should read the Safety section. Their peak season is autumn through early spring. So far, this is my favorite way to eat Brussels sprouts. I adapted the recipe from a produce section recipe rack card.
