    Brussels sprouts are one of those vegetables that's easy to get wrong. If you've ever had soggy ones, or ones that are too raw, you know what I mean.

    But when Brussels sprouts are cooked properly, they can really level up your side dish game. And they can be a great main dish complement.

    ❤️ Why you'll love this recipe

    brussels sprouts in colander

    With just a little love, Brussels sprouts can burst with flavor. Here's what make this recipe is so special:

    • Bright acidity: I use apple cider to highlight the herb flavors and really make these Brussels sprouts pop.
    • Healthy: Each serving is under 200 calories, and this recipe makes 4 servings total.
    • Easy clean up: Since these sprouts are oven roasted on a single pan, clean up is a snap!

    This side dish also goes great with holiday main dishes like Dutch Oven Pot Roast, Citrus Herb Turkey Breast, and One-Pan Garlic Rosemary Sirloin Tip Roast and Potatoes.

    📝 Ingredient notes

    Roasted brussels sprouts with apples and pomegranate, recipe on UrbanBlissLife.com

    Brussels sprouts - de-stem and wash them, and then cut into quarters.

    Green apples - you'll need to core, peel, and chop into cubes.

    Olive oil

    Hard cider - this helps bring out the natural sugars of the brussels sprouts.

    Thyme leaves - for some extra herbal flavor.

    Salt & pepper - be sure to taste and season as it cooks.

    OPTIONAL: Pomegranate seeds - I add these for some extra flavor and texture.

    ✅ Step-by-step instructions

    Full instructions and measurements are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post. Here are some cooking tips to help you along the way.

    4. OPTIONAL: top with pomegranate seeds for extra flavor and color.

    Recipe FAQs

    How do I know when my Brussels sprouts are done roasting?

    Bake them at 350° for 30 minutes. Once they achieve a slightly browned, crunchy outer texture, that's when they're done.

    How long do Brussels sprouts stay good for in the fridge or the freezer?

    They should last for about five days in the fridge. In the freezer, they will last for about 12 months.

    Do I need to add pomegranate to my dish?

    Pomegranate is totally optional. I top mine with pomegranate seeds for extra flavor and color.
