I made this as my side to the quinoa crusted chicken breasts and I LOVED it. Amy never had brussel sprouts before and Mike had previously expressed his dislike for them earlier but I made them anyway. And you know what? They both liked it! I’ll admit I also threw in some roasted red potatoes to this mix just in case my brussel sprout rebellion backfired. Since I didn’t have thyme on hand I used my Herbs de Provence spices which has thyme in it. 😀 But the pears really gave it that something extra, that sweet to the bitter taste of the brussel sprouts. It was so good!
