Caramelized baby cabbages are brightened up with horseradish and pomegranate
Roasted Brussels sprouts are fine on their own, but why eat them plain when you can dress them up with fruity bursts of pomegranate and the zing of horseradish? These Fancy Sprouts are easy enough to make on a weeknight but impressive enough to serve at a holiday spread.

Fresh horseradish is shaved over top, lending a bit of a pungent spiciness to the mellow mini-cabbages. The pomegranate seeds keep things light and add a dynamic texture to the dish—not to mention that they look like edible little jewels.
