Looking for a festive side dish that feels elevated but is still easy to prepare? These **Pomegranate-Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts** are crispy, colorful, and bursting with seasonal flavor. Roasted until golden and finished with a tangy balsamic glaze and bright pomegranate arils, this dish is perfect for holiday meals or cozy winter dinners.

Whether you’re hosting a holiday gathering or rounding out a weeknight meal, this Brussels sprouts recipe brings bold flavor and beautiful presentation to the table.

### **Ingredients**

**Serves 4–6**

- 2 lbs Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ cup pomegranate arils
- ¼ cup balsamic glaze (store-bought or homemade)
- Optional garnish: chopped pecans or walnuts

### **Instructions**

**1. Prep the Brussels sprouts**  
Preheat oven to 400°F. Trim the ends off the Brussels sprouts and slice them in half lengthwise.

**2. Season and roast**  
Toss Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Spread evenly on a baking sheet, cut-side down. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and deeply caramelized.

**3. Finish with festive flavor**  
Remove from oven and transfer to a serving dish. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and sprinkle generously with pomegranate arils.

**4. Garnish and serve**  
Top with chopped nuts if desired for added crunch. Serve warm.

### **Tips for the Best Brussels Sprouts**

- Roast cut-side down for maximum caramelization
- Don’t overcrowd the pan — use two sheets if needed
- Add the pomegranate after roasting to keep it bright and juicy
- For extra sweetness, drizzle lightly with honey before serving
