Irresistibly Sweet & Savory Caramelized Brussels Sprouts with Cranberry Pear Glaze – A Stunning Winter Side Dish

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ lbs (680 g) Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 2 ripe pears, sliced (Bosc or Anjou preferred)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp butter (optional, for extra caramelization)
  • 1 cup (100 g) fresh or frozen cranberries
  • ½ cup (120 ml) pear juice or apple cider
  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp white balsamic vinegar
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toss sprouts and pear slices with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on the baking sheet, cut sides down. Roast 20–25 minutes, stirring halfway, until caramelized and tender.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine cranberries, pear juice, honey, mustard, and vinegar. Simmer 10 minutes until cranberries burst and sauce thickens slightly. Stir in a pinch of salt and mash or blend for a smooth glaze.
  4. Transfer roasted sprouts and pears to a serving bowl. Pour warm glaze over the top, toss gently, and garnish with fresh thyme or toasted pecans if desired. Serve immediately.
