Our family has the standard go-to favorites when it comes to holiday gatherings, which makes holiday meal planning easy every year.

However, I do like to change up the sides to try different variations or throw in a few new dishes, and these Brussels sprouts will for sure grace our holiday dinner table this year. It’s a simple recipe that is full of flavor!

How to make roasted Brussels sprouts with cranberries

Here is what you’ll need:

• 2 pounds of brussels sprouts
• olive oil
• salt & pepper
• garlic powder
• grated parmesan cheese
• cranberries
• almond slivers

It’s essentially a three-step process to make this delicious side dish:

step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F. Slice your brussels sprouts in half, larger Brussels can be cut into quarters. 

step 2

Place the brussels sprouts on a rimmed baking sheet and toss them with oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Arranging them on the baking sheet is important for getting nice, crispy Brussels– try to place them so the cut sides face down! Roast them in the hot oven for 15 minutes (20 minutes if you like them extra browned). 

step 3

Remove them and toss the Brussels with the parmesan cheese, cranberries and almonds before placing the pan back into the oven for an extra ten minutes of roasting. 

Pro tips for getting perfectly-roasted Brussels sprouts 

• A hot oven is key, and the difference between lovely, crispy yet tender Brussels and mushy, overcooked Brussels. Roasting Brussels sprouts requires a hotter oven. If your Brussels have ever turned out soft and mushy, it’s likely your oven is not set to a high enough temperature. And no one likes mushy Brussels. 
• Make sure you hold off on adding the parmesan cheese, cranberries and almonds until the very last 10 minutes of roasting, otherwise these ingredients will begin to burn (especially the almonds).

I have to say, I love Brussels any time of year but these beautifully roasted brussels sprouts with parmesan and cranberries are the perfect side dish for any holiday gathering. The cranberries really add an extra “festive” touch to the dish. Crispy, tender and savory with bits of sweet and crunch! Really, there’s no better way to eat your veggies.
