Looking for a new way to spice up brussels sprouts? Well, look no further! We’re going to teach you a modern twist on an old favorite. And it all starts with pesto.
This Cranberry Pistachio Pesto recipe is from Chef Todd of Checkers Restaurant in Downtown Los Angeles, right inside the Hilton Hotel.
In addition to serving this pesto with roasted brussels sprouts, he also pairs it with an Open Faced Grilled Chicken Sandwich with Baby Arugula…
and a cheese plate using Roasted Beets and Humboldt Fog Cheese.
How to Make Cranberry Pistachio Pesto
Ingredients:
Brussels Sprouts
- 1 1/2 pounds brussels sprouts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Cranberry Pistachio Pesto
- 1/3 cup unsalted, shelled pistachios
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries
- 2 cloves garlic or 3 cloves roasted garlic
- 1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves
- 1/2 cups olive oil
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Steps
Brussels Sprouts
Cut off the knobby end of the brussels sprouts and pull off any loose outer leaves. Cut the brussels sprouts in half, lengthwise. Toss with olive oil.
On a baking sheet, spread the brussels sprouts evenly and roast for 20-25 minutes, until you begin to see a bit of browning on the brussels sprouts. The interior should be fork tender.
Cranberry Pistachio Pesto
Place the pistachios, cranberries, garlic and parsley into a food processor and let that baby run until the ingredients are finely chopped. Keep the motor running and add in 2 tablespoons of the olive oil.
Here’s the important part:After you turn off the food processor, spoon out the pesto into a bowl and stir in the remaining olive oil by hand. If you try to add all of the olive oil into the food processor, it will become too thick and turn into a “paste” rather than a pesto.

Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Cranberry Pistachio Pesto Recipe
Jaden
This recipe is from Chef Todd Allison at Checkers Restaurant in the Los Angeles Hilton Hotel. This recipe makes double the amount ofCranberry Pistachio Pesto, so that you can reserve the remainder to serve on sandwiches or on a cheese plate. Alternatively, you can freeze the extra pesto.

Ingredients
For Brussels Sprouts
- 1 1/2 pounds brussels sprouts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
For Pesto
- 1/3 cup unsalted, shelled pistachios if you use salted pistachios, remember to taste pesto before salting at end.
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries
- 2 cloves garlic or 3 cloves roasted garlic
- 1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves
- 1/2 cups olive oil
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375F degrees.
Cut off the knobby end of the brussels sprouts and pull off any loose outer leaves. Cut the brussels sprouts in half, lengthwise. Toss with olive oil.
On a baking sheet, spread the brussels sprouts evenly and roast for 20-25 minutes, until you begin to see a bit of browning on the brussels sprouts. The interior should be fork tender.
Place the pistachios, cranberries, garlic and parsley into a food processor and process until very finely chopped. While the food processor is running, slowly drizzle in only 2 TABLESPOONS of the olive oil. Spoon out the pesto into a bowl and stir in remaining olive oil. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. The pesto should be slightly sweet and salty. If the pesto is too thick, you can stir in more olive oil.
Lightly season the brussels sprouts with salt and pepper. Toss with just 1/4 cup of the Cranberry Pistachio Pesto on top. Reserve remaining pesto for other uses.

I made this recipe today to take to Thanksgiving celebration tomorrow. The pesto is scrumptious and also looks very appetizing. The mix of flavors in the pesto is just right. It’s perfect on the roasted brussels sprouts. I think it would be amazing on a sandwich also. I’ll take a picture before serving it.Reply

I had the same issue as Christine. One big blob. No matter how much olive oil I added or how long I stirred, it would not release and mix.
I finally figured out that I had the nuts and cranberries in the food processor too long. There was no fixing it.
Everyone should be aware that you should not mix it too long or it will be a waste.
Tasted great, but you cannot spread a big ball of sticky onto the brussels.
I will make it again. It was delicious. Just need to get it right. 🙂Reply

We make a lot of our vegetables in the oven with a bit of olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Even the kids love them that way! We especially love brussel sprouts done this way.Reply
Christine on 11/22/17 at 10:04 am
This sounds great! I tried to make the pesto, but mine is just one big glob… now it is one big glob sitting in olive oil. Is it supposed to be VERY think? Any recommendations?
Reply
Jaden on 11/22/17 at 10:09 am
Hi Christine, you can thin it out with some more olive oil. It shouldn’t be too thick. Add enough olive oil to make it easy to toss with the brussels sprouts. You might not use all of the pesto (You can freeze the rest).

I just made pesto last night and it was a bit ho-hum so I thought I would try to find more interesting variations and yours looks delicious! I can’t wait to try it. I always thought pesto had to have parmesan in it, but that makes it really salty so I am looking forward to trying this recipe. Thanks!

My husband and I *ADORE* this recipe, and we didn’t think it could get any better. BUT! I was looking for ways to cut down the fat and calories (I know, I know. BO-ring), so instead of the full amount of olive oil, I used 1/4 cup E.V.O.O and 1/4 cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice. It was unbelievably amazing!! Very zingy, added a lot of brightness to the flavor- I totally recommend trying it. So, not that this recipe needs improving, but it is well worth a try for something a little lighter and equally delicious!

I tried it this weekend. Had 2 issues. The pesto turned out funny. After I blended in the blender, it turned into this large glob of sticky goo. There’s no possible way I can stir in the remaining olive oil. It tasted good, but definitely not spreadable. Second is that the brussle sprouts has a weird texture that’s somewhat mushy I guess. I was expecting a little bit of crunch like cabbage. Do I need to cook it less or is it suppose to be that way? Everyone tried it liked it but maybe I just have different personal taste….

Admittedly, I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I’m not a BS fan, but Jaden’s photos are so darn good looking that I had to try it. As luck would have it, the farmer’s market had some BS and I made a double recipe and served it with a pork roast with peach salsa. The verdict: The family ate it all up. Our minds have been changed about BS. I’ll be making it a second time later this week.

I haven’t made up my mind yet. Do I love or hate brussel sprouts? Maybe because I haven’t find a perfect recipe for them. However, looking at the photos here (they look amazing!), I am tempted, so I will try this recipe next time I see brussel sprouts at the market.

I am sort of in the ‘hate’ category when it comes to Brussels Sprouts although lately I have been very tempted to give them another try.

I too hated Brussels Sprouts until my husband, who is a chef, boiled them in water with soy sauce and sesame seeds. It was his mother’s recipe. My son, who hates most veggies, loves Brussels Sprouts quartered and caramelized with bacon and onions. Would love to try this recipe but I’ll have to substitute another nut since someone in the family is allergic to pistachios.

We are big Brussels sprouts fans around here. But I can certainly relate to the love-hate scenario. The smell of steaming Brussels sprouts alone is hard for some people to get past. Roasting would definitely take care of that. The pesto looks awesome … I love pistachios (in fact, they’re pretty hard to stop eating once you eat one).

Delish! I love the bitterness of brussel sprouts while my family doesn’t. BTW, in Japan, a new vegetable called “Petit Vert”, whose parents are brussel sprout and kale, has been on sale over recent years. Its size is similar with the brussel sprout, but it looks curly and taste sweeter. Feminine 🙂

My youngest loves Brussels sprouts so I’ve been experimenting a lot lately. Pan fried with apples, roasted with some bacon, pan fried with red potatoes (her favorite!). I think the roasting is key. Boiled they are bleh. Roasting or pan frying until browned brings out a great flavor.

Tell your readers not to throw away those nice outer leaves! You can roast them at a low temp…they come out crisp and better than potato chips! http://www.danaslatkin.com/kitchen/brussels-sprouts-two-ways-chips-and-roasted-with-anchovies-and-dates
Thanks for the great pesto recipe and for all your inspiration.
Love,

Since many of us have this love/hate relationship with brussels sprouts, this recipe seems to spruce up our appetite! And thanks Chef for a different version of pesto. Kind of bored with the regular spinach and pine nuts 🙂
