An unlikely combo: Brussels Sprouts with Blue Cheese and Cranberries
Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Blue Cheese and Cranberries. I know the title is quite a mouthful. But, how else do you hint at all the wonderful flavors that mingle around these lovely roasted Brussels sprouts?
We're pretty sure this dish could convert even the most staunch Brussels sprout hater around your Thanksgiving table. It's a bold claim, but the sweetness of the apples and cranberries, the hint of tart from the balsamic vinegar, the crunch of toasted walnuts, and just the right amount of smooth saltiness from the blue cheese combine to create a Brussels sprout side dish that is truly unlike any other.
Yes, there's a lot going on in there. It's practically a meal in itself. (We may or may not have eaten a whole pan of these for dinner once or twice.)
But, it goes great with a side of turkey with the fixings too.
