I’m bringing you one of my favorite holiday recipes today, and also one of my most beloved brussels sprouts recipes as a whole.
The colors, textures and earthy-meets-sweet flavor balance going on here has made this dish now an annual tradition in my household each season.
I mean…just look how pretty and festive it is all thanks to its entirely natural and nourishing ingredients. Win.
I like to shred brussels sprouts because it gives them an almost buttery-like feel upon sauteing. It also turns them into a conversation piece, perhaps even making them a novelty on the holiday table.
Paired with a crunch from the pomegranate seeds bursting with complimentary color and from the apples, you get a satisfying bite here with each forkful of sprouts.
The pecans add another layer of crunch, and butteriness, too, rounding out this healthful side with just a splash of richness.
Whether it’s for a holiday feast or even just a post-feasting-week meal, it’s always good to have something green on the table this time of year. And also a veggie dish that won’t get outshined by all of the other good treats that surround it.
Always receiving rave reviews from my various family members, I can assure you this fulfills that promise.
Happy holidays, from my kitchen to yours!
