I admit my heart skips a beat each year when the first stalks of Brussels Sprouts start appearing at the farmers' market. This year was no exception, particularly because Keith had a recipe idea that had been brewing in his head for some time now. As always, I could not wait to be the guinea pig. Inspired by a Maple Roasted Brussels Sprouts dish that we shared at Bobby Flay's Gato several months ago, Keith was determined to create his own version.  Maple Syrup Brussels Sprouts and pomegranate made for such an incredible pairing. They left an imprint on Keith's chef brain.

Ingredients:

  • Fresh BRUSSELS SPROUTS (10 ounces)
  • POMEGRANATE SEEDS (ARILS): (½ cup)
  • Fresh CARROTS (½ cup, diced)
  • MAPLE SYRUP (⅓ cup)
  • OLIVE OIL (½ cup)
  • GROUND CINNAMON (½ teaspoon)
  • BROWN SUGAR (½ cup)
  • OLIVE OIL (2 Tablespoons): we like it with chili pepper for an extra kick
  • RED PEPPER FLAKES (1 teaspoon)
  • SALT & GROUND BLACK PEPPER (to taste)

Brussels sprouts have never looked (or tasted) so good. Perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the maple syrup creates a sweet flavor and the pomegranate seeds add a nice texture. This recipe is the perfect balance of sweet and savory, traditional and modern. Its colorful presentation makes it a stunning addition to a Thanksgiving table. But for us, it is yet another healthy, great-tasting side dish with a story that we can enjoy together.

    I totally agree with you. The first time I see Brussels sprouts in the market, I get super excited. To me, it means: 1) I get to eat Brussels sprouts. Yay!! 2) We're really getting into the real deal fall season. Double yayy! Thanks for sharing this recipe. I love the addition of pomegranate seeds.
