Trying to have a glow-up like brussels sprouts and cauliflower
Brussels sprouts were never on our table growing up. Ever. I always thought they were gross and slimy and disgusting - and I'd never even tried them.
I guess the lesson here is - don't judge a book by its cover.
Not only does this recipe look amazing, but it is also so quick and easy to whip up.
Another great Thanksgiving side dish to add to your table. These brussels sprouts are sautéed in the drippings of pancetta, adding so much flavor and creating a nice brown caramelized crust on the brussels. The cranberries bring in a bit of sweetness and texture, and honestly dried cranberries scream holiday season to me, so you'll find them in so many of my recipes - just an FYI.
