Roasted Brussel Sprouts and Carrots with Dried Cherries are a dream of a side dish. The flavors complement each other beautifully making the combination far more interesting than any of the ingredients would be on their own.

Now, when you look at the recipe and see cane syrup listed an ingredient, don't be alarmed. We have a family event every year between Christmas and New Years where sugar cane is pressed and the juice cooked to make a delicious syrup. If southern food events like that interest you, you'll want to read all about it here. But, don't worry. If you don't have cane syrup available, you can substitute maple syrup, molasses, or even honey.

Tips for making roasted brussel sprouts

First of all you'll want to cut off the brown stem end of the sprouts, and then remove a few of the outer leaves. The final step in prepping is to cut them in half.

  • Be sure to toss the brussel sprouts in the liquid in a bowl. That ensures they're thoroughly coated for even browning.
  • Place them cut side down in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  • Test for tenderness by piercing with a fork at the minimum cook time. Brusell sprouts can vary in size and that will affect cook time.
  • We like to line our pan with parchment paper for easy clean up.

    The cherries are an interesting addition to your brussel sprouts and I intend to try it next time I make them. I do mine with a reduction of balsamic vinegar and maple syrup. The brussel sprouts get carmalized by the syrup and I can eat them like candy!

    My kids have finally warmed up to the idea of Brussels sprouts because we usually add bacon but I love the idea of adding cherries. Sounds divine!

    Very tasty with the cherries. Recipes that I had searched for on the internet was with cranberries and the only thing I had was cherries. Am new to roasting vegetables but I am sold on roasting now.
