Brussel Sprouts with Pomegranate Balsamic Glaze


(Recipe found on the Tasty Kitchen site here)

Step by Step Instructions:

Here are all of the ingredients that you will need for these Brussel Sprouts with Pomegranate Balsamic Glaze: Sugar, Salt and Pepper, Balsamic Vinegar, Olive Oil, Pomegranate Arils, Pomegranate Juice, and Brussels Sprouts.  One thing to note is that I didn’t have plain Pomegranate Juice, so I used a Pomegranate Blueberry juice, which really seemed to enhance the flavor of the glaze.


First thing I did was preheat the oven.  Then I began working with my Brussels sprouts, which I must say were a bit on the small size but all I could find in the store.  They still worked well though.  I began by trimming off the end of the sprout, pulling off any outside leaves that were falling off of the veggie.  When I was done doing this with all the sprouts, I rinsed them in a colander and then cut each one in half as you can see in the photo above.


I then combined about a 1/4 cup of olive oil, some kosher salt and freshly ground pepper with the halved brussel sprouts and tossed them in a bowl with my hands until they were well coated.  I then got a cookie sheet with an edge all the way around it and placed a Silpat on top of the cookie sheet. Then I poured the brussel sprouts on the Silpat and spread them out evenly.


I put the sprouts in the oven and began working on the glaze.  I combined the juice, balsamic vinegar, and sugar in a saucepan and turned it on medium high heat to bring it to a slow boil and stirred it regularly for about 25 minutes.


After ten minutes, I opened the oven and stirred the sprouts around. I took them out of the oven after an additional ten minutes and they were browning with a few brown browned leaves.


After the glaze had been on the stove for 25 minutes, I took it off the heat and let it cool.Finally I assembed the ingredients by putting the brussel sprouts in a dish, sprinkled them with pomegranate arils and spooned about 2 T. of glaze over them.  I sprinkled a bit of kosher salt over the top.  This would be a great side dish with just about any meal!

Ingredients:
1 pound Brussels Sprouts, Cleaned And Halved
Olive Oil
Pepper To Taste
Coarse Sea Salt To Taste
1 cup Pomegranate Juice
¼ cups Balsamic Vinegar
¼ cups Granulated Sugar
4 Tablespoons Pomegranate Seeds

Preparation Instructions:
1. Clean and cut the sprouts in half and place in a large bowl.

2. Toss with a fairly good amount of olive oil, coarse sea salt, and pepper to taste. Once evenly coated, place a single layer on a sheet pan or baking pan and roast at high heat 425 to 450 degrees until they start to get some color. It usually takes about 20–25 minutes depending on how crowded the pan is. Stir them about half way through, about 10-15 minutes into the cooking process. Take them out once they begin to get brown and some of the leaves get crispy. They should be tender but have some texture to them.

3. While the sprouts are cooking, begin to make the Pomegranate Balsamic Glaze.  Mix the pomegranate juice, balsamic vinegar and sugar, bring to a slow boil, and cook until the sauce is reduced by 2/3, stirring frequently. This takes about 15–25 minutes. Once it cools it will become thick and coat a spoon.

4. When the sprouts are finished, sprinkle with the pomegranate seeds and drizzle with about 2 tablespoons of glaze (or more, to taste) and serve warm.

5. I like to sprinkle the finished dish with a touch of coarse salt just to give it a bit of salty crunch.

I'm so grateful for each of you in my life even if it's just through our phones most days. ♥️
I'm also supremely blessed for my amazing friends and family each day. To say they make my life better every day is an understatement. ♥️
Thanks to those of you who I can confide in at a moments notice. I'm honestly am a better person having you in my life. ♥️
And to my newest valentine, my puppy, I'm excited to see where this little adventure of ours is going. ♥️
Now I'm off to enjoy a night in with my guy cooking, laughing and relaxing on this chilly evening.

  • Here's a recent purchase of mine...a little humidifier for my apartment. My hands are crazy dry, my nostrils and lips are dry. I'm so over winter already so I've kept this going nonstop. So far I think it's helped me and my puppy a bit. What are your winter must haves? And also if you have any really great lotion recommendations for majorly dry skin that doesn't leave your hands super oily, comment with that too! So far Aquaphor is my go to but my hands feel so greasy. 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

  • Don't let that smile fool you...I'm tired as can be as I'm working through my first week of puppy mommyhood as my friend Lea calls it. My productivity for anything outside of little Brinkley and work has been nonexistent. There have been a lot of ups and downs this week so I'm sharing that journey...
🐾
First off I have a horrible gag reflex so I'm grateful my boyfriend doesn't. But I've actually done quite well with the cleanup. Yay!
🐾
Maybe I should have checked the weather before adopting cuz it's been in the negative degrees. Brrrrr
🐾
The crate and treats have been amazing for my sanity and training the little guy. 🐾
I've already called the vet with a health issue. I'm working on getting good at getting him to take pills. No fun. 🐾
A puppy makes for a great foot warmer which I'm always on need of!
🐾
My patience is being tested but it's definitely a learning process. I'm getting better every day!
🐾
He actually is a fab napper and evenings are my favorite after he gets his crazy playing out of his system. We recoop from the day together with our laziness. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
  • I'd like to introduce this little guy to you. We adopted him yesterday and he's the sweetest puppy and quite the charmer! Right now I'm thinking Brinkley will be his name. Any You've Got Mail fans out there??
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

  • Every time I fly I feel like I have a few moments of major depth. Where I see the world and myself from a different angle (literally). And I think it's normal for a lot of us to question who we are, our purpose, why we're here, our level of happiness, and so on. Well today's analysis revealed that I think we're here to grow, serve others, and spread love. It looks different for each of us, because we're all unique little weirdos in our own ways. Our contributions will all be slightly different. To be honest, I could be better. Better in all of these areas. But is the fact that I'm recognizing this proof I'm growing? I'd like to think so. What about you? What do you think about when you fly? Maybe you get a little deep on a flight or just admire the view. Tell me below! I'd ♥️to know!
