The Thanksgiving table is filling up! With the main event (Roast Turkey) behind me I’m free to share with you the fun and creative stuff – the sides. This recipe appeared on the cover of Whole Living magazine last fall and immediately caught my attention. It’s cinchy to prepare and can be cooked early in the morning and reheated or after the turkey has come out of the oven and is resting.
The recipe was tweaked a bit by adding a few more walnuts – I like the extra crunch & flavor, subbing dried thyme for fresh and reducing the amount of grapes. Watch the sprouts closely nearing the end of cooking time so that they don’t over-brown. Mine were right on the edge, but I like ’em dark.
