This fantastically easy recipe boasts a beautiful, earthy flavor that is the perfect compliment to any bird or red meat on the table. And, it showcases the best of what our Golden State has to offer this month.

Brussels Sprouts

Brussels sprouts are a funny looking veggie, have you seen how they grow? Large stalks are dotted with miniature “heads” until they are full grown and consuming the entire stalk. Some stores and farmer’s markets have started to sell them that way, too! It’s a great conversation starter with your family and friends while preparing this dish.  

Let’s make Roasted Brussels Sprouts & Butternut Squash step-by-step:

Ingredients chopped on a baking sheet: Brussels sprouts, red onion, and butternut squash

We halve each brussels sprout and also cube up a whole butternut squash, along with a red onion (which is actually purple) to create a feast for the eyes.

Talk about a colorful recipe!

Drizzle olive oil over the vegetables

The entire tray is drizzled in California olive oil and dusted with salt and pepper.

Dust vegetables with salt and pepper

Tossed gently and baked at 425 degrees for about 23 minutes.

Add pomegranates to the roasted vegetables

Once out of the oven, toss with roasted pecans and a bit of pomegranate arils. Oh, the fresh crunch and zing of the pomegranate is something you won’t want to miss.
