Brussels Sprouts with Smoked Almonds and Manchego Cheese #HolidaySideDishes

These Brussels Sprouts get a wonderful smoky flavor and crunch from the almonds, some brightness from the vinegar, and decadence from the cheese.  It is the perfect Holiday Side Dish.

We are sharing Holiday Side Dishes this week.......

Heather of Hezzi D's Books and Cooks invited us to join her on Monday, Wednesday and Friday this week to help our readers with their Holiday meal planning.  We will be sharing tons of side dish ideas with you, giving you plenty of time to prepare your menus.

I am sharing this amazing Brussels Sprouts dish that complements any meal you serve up.  Brussels Sprouts are the perfect seasonal side dish and find their way onto my holiday menus quite often.  I think you will love this version that I'm sharing with you today.  Let's see what other side dishes are being served up.......

• Air Fryer Butternut Squash from Devour Dinner
• Air Fryer Stuffed Mushrooms from Cheese Curd In Paradise
• Black Eyed Pea Casserole from Leftovers Then Breakfast
• Bourbon Pecan Sweet Potatoes from Cookaholic Wife
• Brussels Sprouts with Smoked Almonds and Manchego Cheese from A Day in the Life on the Farm
• Cauliflower au Gratin from Hezzi-D's Books and Cooks

• Potatoes and Green Beans/Aloo Beans Curry from Magical Ingredients
• Potatoes Au Gratin from An Affair from the Heart
• Southern Collard Greens (Instant Pot) from Palatable Pastime
• Sweet Potatoes with Candied Pecans from Kate's Recipe Box

Wow, something for everyone on this list.  I see a few that will work perfectly together for each meal this Holiday season.

This wonderful side dish is ready in less than 20 minutes but if you are like me and want them even quicker when getting dinner on the table, you can cook the brussels sprouts ahead of time and then quickly rewarm and add the finishing touches right before serving.

The others will be back on Wednesday with more side dishes to share.  You can find them by searching #HolidaySideDishes on social media.  I will be posting a great Holiday Side of Autumn Flavored Rice Pilaf but it is our posting day for Foodie Extravaganza so I will be joining that group.  

I will be back with Heather and the others on Friday with a wonderful Pasta that I love serving as a side dish or during the pasta course.  

Speaking of pasta....stop by tomorrow for a new recipe that I was inspired to make from a novel that I read.  Hope to see you then.
