Description
These caramelized Brussels sprouts skewers are drizzled with a sweet-tart cranberry honey and topped with salty feta cheese, making for a perfect appetizer or side dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Thread the Brussels sprouts onto the soaked wooden skewers, leaving a small gap between each sprout.
- Place the skewers on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, turning once halfway, until the sprouts are deeply caramelized and tender.
- While the sprouts roast, make the cranberry honey: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, chopped dried cranberries, apple cider vinegar, and red pepper flakes (if using). Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
- Remove the skewers from the oven and let cool for 2 minutes. Drizzle or brush the cranberry honey over the Brussels sprouts.
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the skewers. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
For a vegetarian version, ensure the feta is rennet-free. Soaking the skewers prevents them from burning in the oven. You can also grill the skewers over medium heat for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally.
