Ingredients
  

  • 2-pounds Brussels sprouts
  • 12-ounces apple juice
  • 1.7-ounces apple cider vinegar
  • 1.4-ounces Dijon mustard
  • 1 pomegranate, seeds only
  • Olive oil
  • Coarse salt, to taste
  • Freshy ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat oven to 450°F.
  • Trim stem ends from Brussels sprouts and remove any browned or wilted outer leaves.
  • Halve Brussels sprouts lengthwise through the core.
  • Thinly slice ¼ of the halved Brussels sprouts; set aside as these are not roasted.
  • On a rimmed baking sheet, toss halved Brussels sprouts with 3 tablespoons oil.
  • Season with ¾ teaspoon salt and spread into a single layer.
  • Place in oven and roast, stirring once halfway through, until browned and crisp in spots, about 20 minutes
  • Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, combine apple juice, apple cider vinegar and 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard; season with ½ teaspoon salt and a few grinds pepper.
  • Bring to a boil over high, reduce to medium and cook, stirring occasionally until thickened and reduced to about ½ cup, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, place raw sliced Brussels sprouts.
  • Add cider syrup and 2 tablespoons oil and toss to coat.
  • Score pomegranate around the perimeter – do not cut all the way through – and pull apart.
  • Hold one pomegranate half in one hand, cut side down, just inside a large pot and, using a large spoon, whack the outside repeatedly until seeds fall out.
  • Repeat with the other pomegranate half.
  • Add roasted Brussels sprouts and half of the pomegranate seeds to bowl with the sliced Brussels sprouts.
  • Season with ½ teaspoon salt and a few grinds pepper and toss to combine.
  • Transfer to a serving bowl, or platter, and top with more pomegranate seeds.
