Steps:
- Pour enough oil into a medium pot so that the oil comes 3 inches up the sides. Heat the oil to 350 degrees.
- While the oil is heating, whisk together the garlic, anchovies, serrano, red wine vinegar, honey, scallions, walnuts and extra-virgin olive oil in a bowl large enough to toss all of the Brussels sprouts. Keep the bowl near the stovetop.
- Working in batches, deep-fry the Brussels sprouts until the edges begin to curl and brown, about 3 minutes. To the last batch, add the parsley and capers (stand back-the capers will pop and sputter!). Give the contents of the pot a stir. When the color of the parsley becomes a deeper, more saturated shade of green, about 30 seconds to 1 minute, remove the contents of the pot with a skimmer and place directly in the bowl of dressing. Toss to coat. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Roasting brussels sprouts brings out their nutty sweetness and keeps them crisp-crunchy around the edges.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, toss brussels sprouts with the olive oil. Season well with the salt and black pepper and toss again. Spread everything evenly on a sheet pan cut-side-down and roast until crisp and deeply golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes, flipping the sprouts halfway through to ensure even browning.
- Meanwhile, toast the walnuts in a skillet over medium-low heat, stirring frequently to ensure they don't burn, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- When the brussels sprouts are done roasting, toss them with the toasted walnuts and the pomegranate seeds. Drizzle with the pomegranate molasses (about 1 teaspoon or so), if using. Season with flaky salt.

- Trim the Brussels sprouts. Cut off the stem end and any damaged leaves.

- Roast the Brussels sprouts. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly browned.
- Make the walnut vinaigrette. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, mustard, honey, salt, and pepper. Stir in the walnuts.
- Serve the Brussels sprouts. Drizzle the walnut vinaigrette over the roasted Brussels sprouts and serve immediately.
