Cranberry Pear Brussels Sprouts - Plated

Cranberry Pear Brussels Sprouts, elegant but easy! They embody the essence of autumn produce, roasted together in a concert of color and flavor. The savory earthiness of the sprouts are tempered by the sweet and tart flavors of the fruit.

Fruits and Vegetables in One Dish

Until recently, I was the one at the table that would say “pass” on the dishes that combined fruit and vegetables. My palate never enjoyed the mixing of the two.

Since eating a cleaner diet, my world of cuisine has greatly expanded. I enjoy so many taste and flavor combinations that I was never able to appreciate before. It is like finding an entirely new type of food I didn’t know existed!

This dish is one you will want to add to your list of easy sides. Cut a few veggies and slice up some fruit, mix in the oil and in the oven it goes! This simple preparation is only one (albeit a very important one) of the benefits of this side dish.

Health Benefits of Cranberry Pear Brussels Sprouts

In addition to being a flavorful and artistic touch added to your meal, it is loaded with nutrients. Vitamins A, C, K and B-6 are aplenty, along with protein, fiber, omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants. Second helpings are highly recommended!

While I do love the way this dish brightens up the dinner table, I will share a little secret with you: It is so easy to make that sometimes I will just toss it together and put it in the oven for a delicious lunch. Then I get to eat it all myself! Ha ha!

Cranberry Pear Brussels Sprouts - Plated

Elegant but easy, Cranberry Pear Brussels Sprouts embody the essence of autumn produce, roasted together in a concert of color and flavor. The savory earthiness of the sprouts are tempered by the sweet and tart flavors of the fruit.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup cranberries
  • 1 whole red pear
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic (minced)
  • 2 tablespoons walnut oil
  • sea salt

Instructions

  • 2) Slice cranberries in half and add to sprouts. Then cut pear in half, remove core and slice in 1/8th inch slices. Add pear to sprouts and cranberries. Add fresh minced garlic and walnut oil to the fruit and sprouts bowl and gently lift and turn with hands to mix.
