Say hello to your new favorite steak night side dish. These feta roasted brussel sprouts bake on top of a bed of feta cheese that makes for the most caramelized, crusted, cheesy brussel sprout bite. Finish them off with a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a veggie flavor explosion.
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb brussel sprouts, halved
- 6 oz Athenos feta cheese crumbles
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp balsamic glaze
- Cracked black pepper
Method
- Preheat oven to 400 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Clean and trim the bottoms of the brussel sprouts and cut in half.
- With a pastry brush, brush the bottom of the parchment paper with 1 tbsp of olive oil.
- Add an even layer of feta cheese over the olive oil. Push down each brussel sprout half into the feta cheese. Brush the tops of the brussel sprouts with the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil. Sprinkle tops with kosher salt, garlic powder, and a few turns of cracked black pepper.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the brussel sprouts are fork tender and have begun to caramelize around the edges. Remove from the oven, and drizzle with balsamic glaze. Let cool for 5-10 minutes on the pan before serving.
