Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

5. Add fresh cranberries to the baking sheet, distributing them evenly.
6. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through for even cooking.

8. Heat the mixture over medium heat and simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
9. Remove the Brussels sprouts and cranberries from the oven once caramelized and crispy.

Notes
Roast the Brussels sprouts at 400°F for 20-25 minutes to achieve crispy edges and bring out their natural sweetness.
Use fresh cranberries for a tart contrast and a festive pop of color that balances the sweet and tangy glaze.
For added texture and flavor, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts on top before serving.
