Sweet & Savory Crispy Brussels Sprouts
Sweet & Savory Crispy Brussels Sprouts. Ok, so we seriously love this dish for two reasons; 1) because it’s vibrant and brings a beautiful dish to your thanksgiving table, and 2) because it has all the flavors you need. It’s got the sweet from the juicy Pomegrante seeds, the savory from the crispy applewood smoked bacon, the creamy and salty from the crumble goat cheese, and of course the brussels sprouts which means this side dish has my name written ALL over it! You best believe the first thing I go for every thanksgiving is the brussels sprouts, and this dish is going to be hard for me to share ;) !!
If you know me well, you know I LOVE Brussels sprouts. Don’t judge, but that is the first dish I am jumping for on thanksgiving. If I had to name my favorite foods Brussels sprouts would for sure be one of them. I’ll admit I eat them AT LEAST twice a week AT LEAST, all jokes aside. There are so many fun ways to make them, especially around the holidays. And trust me i’ve tried many variations! This sweet and savory dish is no exception.
So if you're a big fan of Brussels sprouts like myself you need this dish on your thanksgiving menu. Also, not to get ahead of ourselves but it’s a pretty perfect side dish for Christmas as well!
