Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Pomegranate and Almonds

Yikes you guys, Thanksgiving is next week! Have you planned your turkey day menu yet? I kind of hope not, because I still have a few more recipes up my sleeve for you.

Our family tends to buck tradition for a totally modern twist on the Thanksgiving menu. A few years ago we had a Moroccan inspired meal with roasted lamb, harissa and saffron rice. The year before that, hand rolled sushi and miso soup. We love the tradition of being a bit untraditional. But, when our extended family gathers, that’s another story, tradition reins supreme!

However your family does it, you’ve got to start with some recipes that are sure to impress. That’s where this delicious and colorful side comes in handy.

These brussels sprouts are crispy, savory and salty. The fresh sweet pomegranates add a bit of freshness and the almonds, a bit of crunch. Easy enough for a weeknight dinner side and festive enough for a crowd!
