It took me a long time to discover the amazingness of Brussels Sprouts. I wasn’t really introduced to them until I was a young adult and then I wasn’t really sure what all of the fuss was about. Seemed like just small cabbages to me and I’ve never really loved cooked cabbage! But then I discovered ROASTED brussels sprouts. And better yet, these Citrus Kissed Roasted Brussels Sprouts… which are a little sweet, a little savory, a little citrus-y, and ALL delicious! Now I’m #teambrussels all the way.

Jump to RecipeThanksgiving is a-coming (YAHOO!) and we know you are going to need some great sides to serve your family with the turkey! These Citrus Kissed Roasted Brussels Sprouts not only look beautiful, they also taste amazing. Roasted in Queen Creek Olive Mill’s Arizona Valencia Orange Olive Oil and a touch of maple syrup, and then studded with pomegranate seeds, these brussels sprouts are sure to please.
But first let’s talk about Queen Creek Olive Mill! For the first time ever, we are spending Thanksgiving in Arizona! I’m not quite sure what to think about Thanksgiving in a warm weather climate, as I’m use to snow flurries and sweatshirts, but I’m excited to see how it goes! And I hope to make an in person stop at my favorite family owned Olive Mill while I’m hanging out in the sun! But for all of you who don’t have the option of visiting…Queen Creek ships anywhere in the US (and if it is your first order from them: use code WITHTWOSPOONS for free shipping!). Check out the Arizona Valencia Orange Oil (it’s one of my favorites)!
I’ve also got a few tips on roasting brussels sprouts for you! I find that they taste best when roasted (obviously since this is a roasted brussels sprouts recipe!). But to get a nice crispy exterior, I find that it is best NOT to use parchment paper when roasting them. Turn them cut side down so that they touch the bare sheet pan. And for maximum crispiness, don’t crowd your sheet pan-you don’t want the brussels sprouts to steam (because really, what is worse than soggy brussels sprouts?).
So, for an easy, beautiful, delicious side, try these Citrus Kissed Roasted Brussels Sprouts!
