I found this on the Weight Watchers website and it is a favorite, diet or not, I have made it with dried cranberries and fresh. there is no comparison. Fresh cranberry is the way to go! That's why these are "holiday" sprouts because fresh cranberries are only available around the holidays. Go figure:)

Tips:
- Trim and halve the Brussels sprouts: Cut off the root ends and any yellow or wilted leaves. Halving the Brussels sprouts will help them cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook the Brussels sprouts in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. This will help them brown evenly and prevent them from steaming.
- Season the Brussels sprouts well: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all great seasonings for Brussels sprouts. You can also add other spices, such as cumin, paprika, or chili powder, to taste.
- Roast the Brussels sprouts until they are tender and slightly browned: The Brussels sprouts should be tender enough to pierce with a fork, but still have a slight bite to them. The outer leaves should be slightly browned and caramelized.
- Serve the Brussels sprouts immediately: Brussels sprouts are best served hot. You can garnish them with fresh herbs, such as parsley or thyme, or a squeeze of lemon juice.
Conclusion:
Holiday Brussels sprouts are a delicious and festive side dish that is perfect for any holiday meal. They are easy to make and can be roasted in advance, making them a great option for busy cooks.
