Serves 4
Ingredients:
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional, for added crunch)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the sprouts evenly.
- Spread the Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast them in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly crispy on the edges. Stir or toss them halfway through the roasting time for even cooking.
- Once the Brussels sprouts are done roasting, transfer them to a serving dish. Sprinkle the dried cranberries over the top.
- Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the Brussels sprouts and cranberries, and toss gently to coat.
- sprinkle toasted pecan on top for added flavor and texture.
