Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Pears

We love Brussels Sprouts and one of my favorite ways to prepare them is just to roast them in the oven. This roasted combination of Brussels Sprouts with Pears has been one of our favorites this season. The fresh Brussels Sprouts at our farmers market have been so fresh this year maybe because it has been cooler and we have had more rain. The pears are so sweet they just melt in your mouth. The recipe has combined lime juice and zest along with some spice and topped with nuts and cheese, oh my it is so good. We love this dish and sure hope you will too!

    Dear Miz Helen, That does look good. I bet the sweetness of the pears compliments the Brussels sprouts.
    Happy and Blessed New Year to you. xo Catherine

    This is such a wonderful idea, Miz Helen! I love the idea of the contrast of the texture and flavour of the pears and Brussels sprouts. Pinned and will tweet. Thank you for being a pat of the Hearth and Soul hop.
