Prepare the brussels sprouts. Cut the bottoms off of the sprouts and cut them in half. For larger ones, you'll want to cut them in quarters so they are essentially the same size. Peel off any tough outer leaves and place them on a rimmed baking sheet. Add the oil, pepper and salt. Toss to coat. Make sure the brussels are mostly cut side down on the baking sheet.
Roast. Place baking sheet in preheated oven and roast for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and toss well. Return to oven and roast for an additional 10 minutes.
Add the parmesan. Remove from oven and toss again. Sprinkle with parmesan and roast for an additional 10 minutes until the sprouts are crisp and beginning to turn dark brown.
Serve. Remove from the oven and add the pomegranate syrup. Serve immediately.
