Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Cranberry Glaze. Simple roasted Brussels sprouts are taken to another flavor level with a cranberry glaze that’s a little bit tart, a little bit sweet along with cinnamon and nutmeg, brings all the flavors of fall.

Never eat boiled brussels sprouts again!  Roasting them with olive oil, salt and pepper brings out a toasty, sweetness to this once feared vegetable. And I can’t even talk about the crispy leaves. The glaze is added while roasting that slightly caramelizes.

It may seem unusual, but there is soy sauce in this glaze. Soy sauce is a great way to add salt with that ‘umami’ rich flavor. It does not taste like an Asian sauce, it has all the holiday flavors and you don’t even notice the soy sauce.

If you use low sodium soy sauce, you can add salt to taste otherwise, you may not need it. Just adjust according to your taste.

A perfect side dish for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Sunday dinner or anytime you cook a roast chicken, beef, pork, or lamb.

As a child I was never a lover of Brussels sprouts. No matter how hard she tried, my mother could never get me to eat, well, not just Brussels sprouts but any type of vegetable. That’s not that unusual for a any child, I suppose. But now that I’m an adult and I discovered roasting them, they are now my favorite seasonal vegetable. It’s amazing how that worked out.
