Add some salt and pepper and roast away! I love when the brussels sprouts get a little burnt. The crispy pieces are my favorite:)

  1. I’ve eaten brussels sprouts almost every day for the past month. I am a huge lover of them, and they’re so good this time of year. Pinned this – so pretty! Cran + orange have gotta be great too in here!

  2. I love these teensy tiny little cabbages! Yours are bea-yoo-tiful! Perfect for the upcoming Holiday. Plus, cranberries and orange? Yea, that’s a good idea!

  3. So one of my favorite local restaurants makes the most AMAZING brussels with orange. They also add soy sauce and it is a killer combination! You must try! These are so pretty!

  4. I love the cran-orange combo! It’s so fabulous, and definitely sounds awesome with veggies!

  5. I made a recipe just like this last week and I just love it! I sauteed mine, I’ll have to try roasting them next time. Nice recipe!

  6. I am loving the cranberry and orange combination. It looks absolutely incredible! I am going to give them a try soon.

  7. I simply adore that you combined two popular Thanksgiving flavors/ingredients in one dish! This looks perfect!

  8. I need a good brussels sprout recipe – love that you have two Thanksgiving classics in this one! Pinned for future use!

  9. Do you think you could roast fresh cranberries with them? (cut in half so they don’t burst?) I wonder how roasted carrots and parsnips would taste mixed in also…

  10. I never thought about combining brussels sprouts with sweet flavors like cranberries and orange but it definitely makes sense! Thanks for sharing.

  11. I’m a recent brussels convert (addict?) and am certain I can win my family over with this recipe at Thanksgiving! Can’t wait to try it!!

  12. I had a different brussels sprouts recipe planned for our Thanksgiving dinner, but I might just switch to this one now!

  13. Great idea to combine everyone’s favorite side with their favorite Thanksgiving condiment! It’s new and different and sounds divine! Happy Thanksgiving 🙂

  14. Can I pan sauté these the same way instead of using my oven? Too many temp variations to deal with on Christmas Day…

  15. seriously, 400 degrees for 40 minutes????? did anybody else actually make these? after 15 minutes they were almost charcoal. glad i opened the oven to “shake the pan”!

  16. This recipe sounds delicious, but I’m not a big fan of honey. Do you think maple syrup would work as a substitute? Thanks in advance!

  17. Do you think I could roast these on the stove in a pan? I only have one oven and my turkey-less loaves will be in there 🙂

    Thanks!

  18. We are trying this today for our Christmas Eve feast and I am super excited to try this recipe! I’ll tell y’all how it worked!!!
