    Brussels Sprouts get a bad wrap.

    They may quite possibly be the most underrated vegetable. That's a bold statement but sometimes veggies don't have the most stellar reputation of being anything more than a "I am going to suck it up and eat it because its good for me" kind of thing.

    Let me introduce Bacon Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Pomegranates and Hazelnuts. You may have a new favorite veggie.

    Roasting vegetables in the oven at a high heat transforms vegetables. We all know that steaming is ultra healthy for you but roasting takes vegetables to another level.

    Start with brussels sprouts and drizzle them with extra virgin olive oil, a sprinkle of salt and pepper, then top them with crispy bacon, sweet pomegranate arils, and crunchy hazelnuts. 

    I love using Silpat non-stick cooking liners on all of my pans so my veggies don't stick. I have so many different varieties and these are some of my favorites -- Silpat or Amazon Basics

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 ½ lbs Brussel Sprouts rinsed
    • 3 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
    • 1 teaspoon Salt
    • ½ teaspoon Pepper
    • 6 Slices Bacon high quality center cut
    • 1 Pomegranate or ¾ cup Pomegranate Arils
    • ¼ cup Hazelnuts peeled and sliced in half

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
    • Cut off the brown ends of the Brussels sprouts and pull off any yellow outer leaves. I usually slice some in half and keep others whole.
    • Mix them in a bowl with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Pour them on a sheet pan and roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. Shake the pan from time to time to cook them evenly.
    • While roasting, cook bacon until nice and crispy and cut into pieces.
    • Sprinkle brussels sprouts with bacon, pomegranate arils, and hazelnuts. Sprinkle with extra salt, as needed. Serve immediately.

      Is there a way that I can cook them the day before Thanksgiving and then zap them in the micro and then top them with the bacon and pomegranite ?

      This was great! Really enjoyed it - thanks for sharing. I do agree with another commenter who said it was a bit sweet - I will definitely reduce the sugar next time (I used regular granulated sugar).

      Can't wait for leftovers tomorrow! 🙂
