A vibrant display of festive color, this dish raises the bar for basic roasted Brussels. Ruby-red pomegranate seeds add a hint of tartness, while toasted walnuts provide a comforting crunch. But what really makes this recipe great is all in the technique. Slicing the sprouts into quarters (rather than halves or roasting them whole) helps them cook quicker and yields a crispy finish. If you want a side dish that truly stands out – make this one!
