Balsamic Brussel Sprouts and Pomegranate

Brussel Sprouts are one of my favorite veggies, and I LOVE veggies. These little guys pack the nutrients, and are low in natural sugars.  They are delicious when cooked properly.  I am sure there are a lot of you who’ve been turned off by overcooked sprouts, but don’t let that prevent you from these!  I know how easy it is to get in a rut where you eat the same vegetables all the time but it’s important to consume a variety of  vegetables, as they all have different but important healthy benefits to the body.  Try new stuff, you never know what you are missing out on.

Cover pan and place in oven for 5 minutes.  You want life left in your sprouts, they should still be vibrant green.
