GINGER ORANGE BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Ginger Orange Brussels Sprouts image

This is a great way to liven up Brussels sprouts. The orange and ginger zing pair perfectly with the sprouts' floral flavors. I have a blood orange infused olive oil that I like to use with this recipe. It helps with the zing. Other dried fruits or nuts might be interesting experiments.
