    Ingredients                                          Method



      450 g brussels sprouts                              Preheat the oven to 180c.
      1 teaspoon olive oil
      1 teaspoon honey                                    Cut the ends off the brussels sprouts,
      Sea salt and Ground black pepper                    and clean off any leaves that are wilting.
      40 g pecans                                         And slice in half.
      80 g pomegranate seeds                              In a baking dish, add brussels sprouts,
      2 teaspoons lemon juice                             then lightly coat with olive oil and
                                                          honey, and season with sea salt and
                                                          pepper.

                                                          Bake on a rack near the top of the oven
                                                          for the crispiest leaves. Bake until
                                                          brussels sprouts are browning on the
                                                          outside, but not overly cooked. They
                                                          should maintain a bright green color.
                                                          Add the pecans, and continue to bake
                                                          on a lower rack in the oven for another
                                                          3-5 minutes, being careful not to burn
                                                          the pecans.

                                                          Allow to cool for a few minutes, then
                                                          toss with lemon juice, and sprinkle the
                                                          pomegranate over the top.
