Recipe: Caramelized Brussels Sprouts with Cranberries

Recipe: Caramelized Brussels Sprouts with Cranberries
June 24, 2022Recipes

 

Whether a Brussels sprouts connoisseur or a self-proclaimed skeptic, this recipe’s combination of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors offers a taste that will pique nearly anyone’s interest!

These little powerhouses contain zeaxanthin, a phytonutrient considered vital for eye health. Roughly three ounces of Brussels sprouts provide four times more vitamin C than an orange. So, if you’ve sworn them off due to a past experience or simply never prepared your own at home, we hope these fabulous flavors and fun facts have sparked your culinary interest!

 

 

Caramelized Brussels Sprouts with Cranberries

Serves 4

 

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts, ends trimmed
  • 1/4 C olive oil
  • 1/4 C balsamic vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp stone-ground Dijon mustard
  • 2 Tbsp honey
  • 3 green onions, finely sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced (or 4-6 tsp minced garlic from a jar)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • A pinch of red pepper flake (Optional)
  • 1/4 C dried cranberries

  

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 425˚F. Prepare a large, foil-lined baking sheet.
