Like a little crunch in your salad?
Brussels sprouts are such a perfect side or salad all on their own, and it doesn’t take much to make them stand out. These glazed citrus brussels will brighten your holiday table!
I usually sauté or roast my brussels, but steaming them can be so easy! I do miss the satisfying crunch when I make them this way though. No worries- easily replaceable with some nuts and pomegranates!
This dish works best if you use small brussels, otherwise you should cut them in half (but that adds prep time). I also had some pomegranate arils already on hand. As much as I love them, it does take forever to de-seed those big beauties! All you really need to do to make these citrus brussels is prep a speedy little glaze to drizzle on top while they steam.
Start by filling a pot with water and insert the steamer container with your sprouts. Cover and boil for about 6 minutes or so. While they cook mix together some orange juice and agave to create the citrus glaze. For extra juiciness I also peeled an orange and cubed up the wedges. When done transfer the greens in to a bowl and mix in some almonds and the pomegranate arils. Drizzle with the sauce to coat!
