It makes me sad to think about all of those decades when Brussels sprouts were boiled to mush and universally hated; they just have so much more potential than that! These Roasted Brussels with pancetta and cranberries are a great example of them living up to that potential.
roasted brussels with pancetta and cranberries are as simple as they are tasty.
Bonus: These are wonderful enough to convert some Brussels haters at your table!
how to make roasted brussels with pancetta and cranberries:
It doesn’t get much easier; Simply toss the ingredients together on a baking sheet and roast. That’s it. Definitely consider adding these to your Thanksgiving spread this year; it’s imperative to have some simple dishes on your menu considering how much cooking and baking is involved.
The size of your Brussels sprouts will affect the cooking time, so gauge their doneness as needed. If they are still crunchy after 20 minutes, just give them a little longer.
