This Thanksgiving and Christmas, treat your family to a delicious and healthy side dish that will please a crowd! These brussels sprouts with pomegranate glaze are decadent and easy to make.
I love, love love love LOVE Brussel sprouts. Seriously love. I don’t know what in the world was happening before, but I just have to say that I’m so glad that someone figured out that Brussel sprouts don’t suck! They’re actually extremely tasty when made correctly. And by tasty I mean pretty god damn delicious. Pardon my french.
This recipe was actually created with Thanksgiving in mind. I wanted something luxurious and lightly sweet without and of the guilt. This glaze is made with zero sugar or additives, it’s just juice and spice. Not often you find something that easy, delicious and healthy. That’s the trifecta we’re all shooting for these days.

I use Pom Pomegranate Juice but you can use any brand, just DO NOT for the love of god use a juice cocktail version. This is much better (and not to mention healthier) if you use real 100% pomegranate juice.
Now, this is a truly healthy recipe but it will not taste healthy, which is why I love it so much. AND this is Whole30 approved, so even while you’re doing the Whole30 diet, you don’t have to miss out on any delicious flavor! I love serving this alongside a great roasted chicken with a salad or roasted potatoes!
