Give your Thanksgiving side dishes a crispy upgrade with these parmesan Brussels sprouts and the Whynter countertop oven.
Crispy Brussels sprouts roasted with garlic, olive oil, and parmesan, then finished with a drizzle of balsamic glaze. An easy Thanksgiving side dish that brings plenty of flavor to the holiday table.
The Whynter TSO-488GB Countertop Convection Steam Oven air-fries the sprouts on its own tray. Your main oven stays free for the turkey, stuffing, and pies.
