This is an outstanding side dish. My family loved it, even those that don't like brussel sprouts. I had to make my own pomegranate molasses, which was more like others used being a pomegranate syrup, and I also left the pomegranate on the side and let everyone add their own. I also used a vanilla bean paste instead of actual beans. Everyone LOVED it. Not a single sprout left after dinner.

Very tasty. I couldn't find the pomegranate molasses so I used the pomegranate & apple juice idea some others used and it was delicious. Looked fantastic at the Christmas dinner table alongside Bobby's brined and grilled turkey breast.

It was very tasty. I could not find the pomegranate molasses, but improvised with pomegranate juice and apple juice combined. It worked. My husband's favorite veggie was made in even better. The color combo with the red and green is very festive. Teamed with chicken or turkey, it is a great addition. I did cut back on the orange and lime zest.

A new holiday favorite! I gave it a trial run before the holiday and my family loved it. On Thanksgiving I had a guest with 'pom seed issues' related to a health problem so I substituted 'craisins' and it was just as delicious. I did cut back on the citrus zest as my family is not a big fan. Pomegranate molasses is my new friend; I found it at Target of all places-ENJOY!

This is way too citrusy. I was going to make it for Thanksgiving but got too nervous about a new recipe on a special day - good idea on my part! The first bite was okay but none of us could finish our portion. If nothing else I'm glad I made this to learn about pomegranate molasses - yummy! They should make candles out of that scent!

Not a single sprout left behind. That says it all.
I made extra butter and used it on waffles the next morning. Will keep that handy for the whole season.

Tasty and a conversation starter. However, in my food circles we watch our fat even on turkey day. Bobby, I did make a few modifications ... only 1 T olive oil instead of 3 canola to toast sprouts. Then we were all perfectly happy with only 2 T of the butter for the vanilla pecan butter. - the vanilla seeds were worth it. Sizing of a whole pomegranate is tricky. I had one that weighed a pound and it was just too much. decided to pass the jewel-like morsels to sprinkle as desired by each diner. Some took scoops (my husband others a few kernels,

I wanted to make this last year in MA but couldn't find the molasses in a pinch. Back at in the bay area i found it readily in a middle eastern produce stand and the in standard supermarkets. Will definitely make again especially for haters of sprouts.

BTW when serving 6 with this recipe bobby flay way: 254 calories 21 g fat, my way 166 cal and 11 gm fat

Fabulous and easy. Hardest part was locating the molasses, which, if you live in NYC, can be found at Fairway. Fantastic blend of ingredients. After all that zesting I forgot to add it and it still was great! You will win over the brussels sprout skeptics with this dish.

I tasted the brussels sprouts after roasting and adding the pomegranate molasses, they were fantastic. I added the pomegranate seeds, lime zest and the vanilla-pecan butter prior to serving, but I thought they tasted better before adding the other ingredients. The pomegranate seeds looked pretty, but I agree that a whole pomegranate full of seeds is way too many. I did not care for the lime flavor even though I am a big fan of lime zest in other dishes. The vanilla-pecan butter did not add anything to the dish but extra calories, I could not even taste the $3.99 vanilla bean I scraped into the butter. I will definitely make the dish again with the pomegranate molasses and maybe some toasted pecans.

Not a huge fan of Bobby Flay ... but my husband made these Brussel Sprouts and they were the BEST sprouts I have EVER put in my mouth!! I think I even finished off the leftovers. I love the flavor that the pomegranates give and the nice little crunch!! Thank you Bobby Flay, you have made me LOVE Brussel Sprouts!!
