best ever roasted brussel sprouts

brussel sprouts are roasted in the oven until tender inside and crispy outside then smothered with melty feta cheese, sweet tart dried cranberries and crunchy toasted walnuts for the ultimate thanksgiving side dish!

These are the absolute best roasted brussel sprouts.

So good in fact that I just polished off the bowl immediately upon finishing this shoot.

The best part about them is that they can be a side dish or a main meal on their own.  You’re getting protein from the cheese and walnuts, healthy fat from the olive oil and veggies from the brussel sprouts.  You could toss with some roasted sweet potatoes or tofu and break it into two full meals.

The feta cheese when roasted gets nice and gooey which makes it next level good.  I would say they’re best eaten right out of the oven so you get that awesome crisp on the brussel sprout, but they also reheat well, you just get a little less crispness.

Not a huge problem when all the flavor is still there though!

Description

brussel sprouts are roasted in the oven until tender inside and crispy outside then smothered with melty feta cheese, sweet tart dried cranberries and crunchy toasted walnuts for the ultimate thanksgiving side dish!

---

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

• 1 lb. bag of fresh brussel sprouts, washed and halved
• 2–3 cloves garlic, minced or grated
• 1–2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, more as needed
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
• 1/3 cup feta cheese, more as desired
• 1/4 cup dried cranberries

---

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Toss walnuts with 1-2 teaspoons olive oil and salt, if desired.  Bake for 7-10 minutes or until just toasted (being careful not to burn!).  Set aside. (*note that you can do this ahead of time – toasted walnuts will keep in an airtight container on the counter for up to 1 week).
3. Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees F and line baking sheet with a new piece of parchment paper.
4. Toss brussel sprouts well with 1-2 tablespoons olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper.
5. Place on baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 25-30 minutes (or until just browned and crispy on the outside), tossing halfway through.
6. Remove from oven, add feta cheese and then place back in the oven keeping a careful eye on them so they don’t burn. Cook until feta gets warm & slightly melty (2-3 minutes).
7. Toss with toasted walnuts and dried cranberries, then serve.

My Beloved Breville Toaster Oven – This thing (other than my coffee maker) is my most used and loved kitchen appliance.  It can do everything from toasting a bagel to roasting chicken or veggies.  We even make frozen pizza in it!  It is far and away one of the best purchases I’ve EVER made (well, technically my husband bought it for me a couple Christmases ago).  If you’re in the market for a new toaster oven, I HIGHLY recommend this one.

White Low Bowls – Love these bowls.  I use them for everything from pasta to salads.
