Browned Brussels Sprouts with Orange and Walnuts

Brussels sprouts are pan-seared until deeply caramelized, then brightened with fresh orange juice and zest for a lively citrus note. Toasted walnuts add warm, nutty crunch that contrasts the tender sprouts. This side shines alongside roasted meats or holiday mains when you want a vibrant, textural vegetable dish.
