Roasted Brussels Sprouts with honey whipped goat cheese, toasted pecans, dried tart cherries and hot honey drizzle.
Even the non-brussels sprouts eaters will love this recipe. Roasted with crispy edges and tossed with so much flavor. Crunch from the toasted pecans, sweetness from the dried tart cherries and a little kick from that hot honey drizzle. All over a super creamy whipped goat cheese.
Let’s talk about tart cherries for a sec…..They are my new favorite thing to add to all kinds of recipes. I always kept them on hand for one of my favorite bread recipes, but now I add them in place of raisins or cranberries. They are a probiotic, which means they are good for your gut and an antioxidant, which help fight free radicals. Try and them and I know you will love them too!
