Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Pomegranate Seeds

November 8, 2016 by Megan Porta 5 Comments

Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Pomegranate Seeds is perfect as a solo party appetizer or a side dish to any meal. The sweet and savory flavors are complementary and so delicious!

A few nuggets about today, right now, this moment (it will pay off to read this entire paragraph): It has been almost a month since we’ve been in our new house. The sickness that has cycled through our family a couple times seems to have dissipated. We still don’t have a dryer and I just spread my 100th load of laundry on our basement floor to dry. The weather is BEYYYYOND gorgeous. I love my dear friend who just came over for coffee. I can’t wait to share my next couple of recipes. I will send a small gift to the person who leaves the most interesting comment on this post (my discretion; be funny, wise or both!).






What is it about Brussels sprouts that makes them so delicious? They are a rather simple little veggie. They have been one of my faves since as far back as I can remember. I picked up a few pounds of them at the store the other day and thought they would go well with my recent food obsession, the pomegranate. I added bacon to the mix because what doesn’t bacon go well with? And wow. This delicious little treat can act as a salad, side, party food or snack. Or an addition to eggs in the morning!

I hope you enjoy this one! Have a wonderful week, friends!

    I am so excited I found this recipe! I love Brussels Sprouts, always have, and was looking for a simple prep to take to a family Thanksgiving. I think the bright counterpoint of the Pomegranate to the richness of the bacon is brilliant! Thank you!

    I have loved brussel sprouts since I was a kid! (I am now 64 years old) I have always had trouble convincing people of this affection for a veggie which most people hate! However, this is the first time I see a recipe that cuts them in half like I have always done! Yay! My daughter says she likes brussel sprouts, but only mine, no others! I usually only put in butter, S&P, lemon juice, but the bacon sounds interesting! Personally I love pomegranate arils, but Hubs does not, and so it may be too much of a departure to try and get him to eat a questionable vegetable made with a hated addition. I would hate to pay $3 for a pomegranate and have it cause a rift in my marriage and culinary reputation. I’ll have to think about that for a bit.

      Hi Michelle! I, too, LOVE halved Brussels sprouts!! Please don’t add the pomegranate seeds if there’s a chance it could cause a marital rift. 🙂 Contact me with your mailing address and I’ll put a few P&E goodies in the mail for you for leaving such a fun comment!
