Best Lemon Garlic Brussel Sprouts:

Okay, I'll be the first one to admit that I am on a serious pomegranate kick right now.

Those dark chocolate pomegranate bites that I posted a few days back kicked butt. They're amazing and I can't get enough of them.

I also made a pomegranate green tea that has been in my morning coffee mug every morning this week and one beautiful winter coleslaw recipe that... you guessed it... has pomegranate arils gracing it's presence.

Maybe it's the pomegranate's sweet juicy bursts when you bite into eacharil.

Maybe it's the crunch of texture after you bite down into each mouthful.

Maybe it's the beautiful magenta color that brightens up otherwise boring-colored winter foods.

It's likely all of the above.

The lemon and honey in the dish give it a light and sweet touchwhile the garlic and black pepper give it a rustic hint.

The combination of thick brussel sprouts and thin spiral-sliced zucchini pieces gives it a nice balance in texture and an impressivelook upon serving. But feel free to use simple zucchini slices for a similarly impressive final masterpiece.
