Glossy Brussels sprouts are a simple, festive side dish for a holiday meal.

I started eating Brussels sprouts as a kid when my preschool served them boiled for lunch.

Here I’ve paired roasted Brussels sprouts with a sweet and tangy pomegranate-balsamic glaze.

This makes a great side dish for Thanksgiving or any fall meal.

Don’t be intimidated by making the glaze.

You’ll only need a few tablespoons of the pomegranate-balsamic glaze for this recipe.

I recommend tossing the sprouts with the glaze after the Brussels sprouts are fully cooked because.

The sprouts look better that way, and you could really taste the flavor of the glaze.

You should have about 2/3 cup of pomegranate balsamic glaze when done.
