With the holiday season coming up, so is the need for delicious sides. While I have my favorite vegetable side dishes like green bean casserole and glazed carrots, I’m always on the hunt for a new great recipe.
Brussels sprouts are one of those ‘love it or hate it’ vegetables. I was on the ‘no way’ side for many years, until I discovered that when cooked right, they are amazing.
When paired with the right flavourings and roasted until golden brown and crispy, brussel sprouts are so tasty. They really don’t deserve the bad rap they oftentimes get.

Ingredients Required
- Brussels sprouts – You’ll definitely want fresh brussels sprouts.
- Almonds – Use plain raw for best results.
- Feta cheese – A brick or crumbles will both do for this recipe.

How to Make Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Here is the easy recipe to make roasted brussel sprouts using basic ingredients. As always the printable recipe card is below.
- Preheat oven to 375F.
- Take clean raw brussels sprouts and remove stalks and cut them in half with a sharp knife.
Pro Tip: If you have rather large brussels sprouts, chop them in quarters so they cook evenly. Place pieces on a baking sheet, in a single layer with cut sides down. - Combine vinegar, olive oil, garlic powder, and salt into a small bowl. Brush the brussels sprouts with the mixture. Then bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until fork-tender.
- In another baking dish, place the almonds with a drizzle of olive oil. Toast almonds for a cook time of about 10-12 minutes, or until they are just lightly roasted.
Pro Tip: Get both pans ready together and you can bake them together so all is done at the same time! - Add roasted almonds to the brussels sprouts, add crumbled feta cheese and stir to combine.
- Serve warm.

Recipe Tips
If you haven’t roasted brussels sprouts before, here are some tips for success.
Storage and Reheating
- Storage. Place leftover roasted brussel sprouts in the fridge in an airtight container. They will last for up to 5 days.
- Reheating. To reheat brussel sprouts, you can use the microwave for fast results. To keep that crispy outside: use an air fryer, the oven, or the stovetop to reheat. Make sure they are in a single layer, and they should only take about 5 minutes to reheat through.
Note: I wouldn’t recommend freezing cooked brussels sprouts, as they tend to get soggy and mushy when defrosted.
