INGREDIENTS

  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, outer leaves removed and halved

  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided

  • 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

  • 2 sprigs rosemary, chopped, reserving 1/4 teaspoon for the dressing

  • 1 teaspoon berbere

  • salt

  • freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 shallot, thinly sliced

  • 1/2 cup peanuts, rough chopped

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

1. Reheat the oven to 450 F.

3. Season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine.

4. Place the sprouts on a parchment-lined sheet pan and roast until lightly caramelized and cooked, about 15 minutes.

5. Meanwhile, in a large, high-sided skillet, warm the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.

6. Add the shallots and peanuts and cook, stirring often, until the shallots are softened, and the peanuts are lightly toasted for about 4 minutes.

7. Add the parsley, 1/4 teaspoon rosemary, maple syrup, vinegar, and a generous pinch of salt, and stir to combine.

8. Add the pomegranate seeds and roasted Brussels sprouts and toss to combine. Season with salt, to taste; serve.
