Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Prepare sprouts. First, rinse them well, then cut any brown ends off of the bottom and remove any shriveled or brown leaves. Cut larger sprouts in half so that all pieces are roughly the same size. Rinse and shake off excess water.
- Pour sprouts onto a large rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with the olive oil, and toss gently until well-coated. Sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon salt.
- Bake, turning every 10 minutes, until tender and browned, about 30 minutes.
- Remove from oven and arrange on a plate. Sprinkle feta and pomegranate seeds over the top, then drizzle with the pomegranate molasses. Taste and add additional salt if desired. Serve.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Put the Brussels sprouts in a medium roasting pan; toss with the canola oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven until light golden brown and a knife inserted into the centers goes in without any resistance, about 45 minutes.
- Transfer the sprouts to a large bowl and add the pomegranate molasses, pomegranate seeds, hazelnuts, and lime and orange zests. Season with salt as needed.
Tips:
- Select firm, vibrant Brussels sprouts: Choose Brussels sprouts that are tightly packed, deep green in color, and free from blemishes.
- Trim and halve the Brussels sprouts: Remove any yellow or wilted outer leaves and cut the Brussels sprouts in half lengthwise.
- Roast the Brussels sprouts at a high temperature: Roasting at a high temperature (400°F or 200°C) helps to caramelize the Brussels sprouts and bring out their natural sweetness.
- Use a combination of olive oil and butter: The combination of olive oil and butter provides a rich and flavorful base for roasting the Brussels sprouts.
- Season the Brussels sprouts generously: Don't be afraid to season the Brussels sprouts with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
- Add pomegranate seeds and feta cheese after roasting: Adding pomegranate seeds and feta cheese after roasting adds a pop of color, flavor, and texture to the dish.
