Ingredients

Units Scale

Crispy Brussels Sprouts

  • 700 g (1 1/2 lb) Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Pecan Crust

  • 3/4 cup pecans, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp chili flakes (optional)

Cranberry-Honey Glaze

  • 1/3 cup dried cranberries
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp water

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
  • Fresh thyme or parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Roast the Brussels Sprouts: Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Toss Brussels sprouts with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread cut-side down on a baking tray and roast for 20–25 minutes until deeply golden and crispy.
  2. Prepare the Pecan Crust: In a small bowl, mix chopped pecans, parmesan, olive oil, and chili flakes. Sprinkle mixture over roasted Brussels sprouts and return to oven for 5–7 minutes until toasted and fragrant.
  3. Make the Cranberry-Honey Glaze: In a small saucepan, combine cranberries, honey, balsamic vinegar, and water. Simmer over low heat for 3–4 minutes until cranberries soften and glaze thickens slightly.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Transfer Brussels sprouts to a serving platter. Drizzle generously with warm cranberry-honey glaze.
  5. Finish & Serve: Top with crumbled feta, chopped walnuts, and fresh herbs. Serve immediately while crispy.
