8 Slimming Thanksgiving Side Dishes

Pomegranate and Pecan Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Brussels sprouts may get a bad rap, but they’re loaded with the same healthful nutrients that make broccoli and cauliflower such standouts. And if you roast or satuée them (boiling or steaming releases that notorious sulfur smell), they’re absolutely delicious. Give them a holiday spin by adding pecans and pomegranates, as in this Pomegranate and Pecan Roasted Brussels Sprouts recipe. They’re a lower calorie alternative to a creamy green bean casserole.
