Additional Notes
Recipe adapted from MySweetMission.online
This idea can be adapted in so many different ways!
You can use dried cherries if preferred, or even pick a different nut such as walnuts or pine nuts. YUMMY! A little balsamic vinegar instead of orange juice can be used as well.
Note: I accidentally added dried cranberries with Brussels sprouts in the oven. I would definitely add those after roasting next time. Just a heads up! 😃
These are literally the BEST Brussels sprouts I’ve ever had!
I could have eaten them as a meal in itself. If you’re cooking for a larger crowd, consider doing a couple of batches as they may go quickly!
