Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Pecans and Cranberries

Brussels sprouts are super trendy right now. Everyone is making these beautiful veggies! My Thanksgiving recipe for Roasted Brussels Sprouts with pecans and cranberries is a seasonal twist on this delicious dish.

I love this recipe for the holidays because it combines brussels sprouts with two of my fall favorites, pecans and fresh cranberries. Roasting your brussels sprouts brings out the nutty flavors of the vegetable, enhanced by the addition of pecans. Fresh cranberries tartly play off the smooth taste of the fig balsamic vinegar on top. You’ll love it!
