How to Make Pumpkin Cider Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Preheat the oven to 200ºC and prepare a dish or tray with a little olive oil.

Gently wash the Brussels sprouts, remove any damaged leaves, and tap to dry. Cut the larger one in half and leave the smaller one as it is. Peel the pumpkin and cut it into cubes of approximately the same size.

Combine both vegetables in a skillet, season, and toss with cider vinegar, cider vinegar, tangerine juice, and olive oil. Add Provencal herbs and taste.

Stir halfway through cooking, add more cider or water to prevent over-drying, and bake for about 25-30 minutes. Serve with chopped chives and pumpkin seeds, and optionally more tangerine juice.
