Place a large knife on top of the garlic and using the palm of your hand smash down on it to release all of the garlic cloves. This will help to release the outer papery skin as well. Repeat with individual garlic cloves if needed to remove outer skin.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Dry Your Brussels Sprouts Thoroughly 💧Pat Brussels sprouts completely dry with paper towels before cooking—moisture is the enemy of crispiness in cast iron, so removing excess water is critical for achieving that perfect golden, crispy exterior.
- Don't Overcrowd the Cast Iron Pan 🍳Arrange Brussels sprouts in a single layer with flat sides down; overcrowding causes steaming instead of searing, so work in batches if needed to maintain that coveted crispy crust.
- Add Garlic Strategically ⏱️Add minced garlic in the last 2-3 minutes of cooking to prevent it from burning and turning bitter, allowing it to infuse flavor without compromising the delicate balance of this dish.
- Finish with Flaky Salt After Glazing 🧂Add Maldon salt as the final touch after drizzling the balsamic glaze to enhance the sweet-savory contrast and add textural complexity that regular kosher salt cannot provide.
- Add Pomegranate Seeds at the Last Moment 💎Toss pomegranate seeds in just before serving to preserve their juicy burst and bright color; adding them earlier causes them to release juice and lose their structural integrity.
