Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup honey, for drizzle
- 4 oz feta cheese, crumbled
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, 2 tbsp honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Add Brussels sprouts and toss to coat.
- Thread Brussels sprouts onto skewers, leaving small gaps between each piece. Place skewers on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway, until Brussels sprouts are tender and caramelized.
- While roasting, in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine dried cranberries and 1/4 cup honey. Cook for 3-4 minutes until cranberries soften and the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
- Remove skewers from oven and let cool slightly. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the skewers.
- Drizzle the cranberry honey over the top and serve warm.
Notes
You can customize the seasonings to taste. For extra crunch, add toasted walnuts or pecans. Skewers can be grilled instead of roasted for a smoky flavor.
