Ingredients

• 500 grams Brussels sprouts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Pomegranate molasses
• 1 whole Meyer lemon
• 0.25 cups Pomegranate seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Trim the ends off the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Slice the larger sprouts in half lengthwise, keeping smaller ones whole for even cooking.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with the olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

Step 4

Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. This will help them roast rather than steam.

Step 5

Roast the Brussels sprouts in the oven for 20 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even browning.

Step 6

While the sprouts are roasting, zest the Meyer lemon using a microplane and set the zest aside. Cut the lemon in half and juice it into a small bowl, removing any seeds.

Step 7

Once the sprouts are nicely browned and tender, remove them from the oven. Drizzle the pomegranate molasses over the hot sprouts, along with 1 tablespoon of Meyer lemon juice, and toss to coat evenly.

Step 8

Transfer the Brussels sprouts to a serving dish. Sprinkle the Meyer lemon zest over the top, followed by pomegranate seeds and fresh parsley if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy this bold and tangy dish!
