Try this flavorful, texture-rich recipe that is high in nutrients and antioxidants.

Prep Time: 5 minutes.

Cook Time: 30 minutes.

Servings: 6.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, halved.
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil (or oil of your choice).
  • 1 ounce balsamic glaze (or to taste).
  • 2 ounces pepitas (pumpkin seeds).
  • 4 ounces dried cranberries.
  • Salt and pepper, to taste.

Directions

  1. Prep – Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup, if desired.
  2.  To prepare Brussels sprouts, trim the ends and remove any discolored leaves, then cut the sprouts in halves lengthwise.
  3.  Arrange sprouts – On a prepared baking sheet, combine the halved sprouts, pepitas and avocado oil, mixing ingredients until evenly coated. Roast sprouts cut side up.
  4.  Roast – Set timer for 25 to 30 minutes, or until Brussels sprouts are fork tender and golden brown on edges.
  5.  Serve – Transfer the roasted Brussels sprouts and pepitas to a serving platter or bowl. Mix in dried cranberries. Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the dish. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

You can make your own balsamic glaze simply by heating and reducing balsamic vinegar. Bring vinegar to a boil, then reduce heat to a low simmer until the liquid is reduced by half (about 20 minutes).  Adding a small amount of brown sugar or honey can help speed the process, but is not necessary.

This dish can be served either hot or cold. If you have leftovers, add a prepared protein of your choice and you’ll have a well-rounded lunch you can enjoy the next day.
