A delicious and nutrient-filled side dish perfect for holiday parties and the winter season.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb of brussels sprouts
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • 1/8 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 cups raw pecans
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 cup pomegranate seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Wash and chop brussels sprouts into halves or quarters. Add to a bowl and mix with avocado oil, sea salt, black pepper and garlic powder.
  3. Place brussels sprouts onto a parchment paper lined pan. Try to spread them out as much as possible so they get crispy.
  4. Set a baking timer for 25 mins.
  5. When that is baking, mix pecans with maple syrup in a bowl.
  6. When the timer has 10 mins left, add the maple pecans to the tray of brussels sprouts and continue baking.
  7. When timer is up, add pomegranate seeds and serve.

Notes

If you’d like to make sure the brussels get really crispy, I would spread them onto two separate pans and flip/mix halfway, and finish with a broil. Then roast the maple pecans separately either before the brussels sprouts or in another oven, and add after.
