Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a rimmed baking sheet with olive oil.
  2. Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts, slice them in half, and toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
  3. Spread the seasoned Brussels sprouts cut-side down on the baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes until golden brown and tender.
  4. While roasting, combine pomegranate juice, balsamic vinegar, and maple syrup in a saucepan, bring to boil, then simmer until reduced by half.
  5. Transfer roasted Brussels sprouts to a serving bowl and top with feta, hazelnuts, and pomegranate seeds.
  6. Drizzle the pomegranate glaze over the dish before serving and enjoy warm.

Notes

For extra crispiness, broil the sprouts for 2-3 minutes at the end. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days.
