Ingredients
Let's gather the ingredients!
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 green apple chopped
- ¼ cup sliced almonds
- 3 oz herbed goat cheese crumbled
Instructions
Let's Begin!
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Prepare the Brussels sprouts: Slice them using a food processor or by hand.
- Toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper until well coated.
- Spread the Brussels sprouts evenly on a baking sheet and roast for about 18-20 minutes, tossing halfway through, until they are golden and crispy at the edges.
- While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, chop the green apple into small cubes.
- Once the Brussels sprouts are done, remove them from the oven and immediately top with the chopped green apple, sliced almonds, and crumbled herb goat cheese.
Notes
Make Ahead: Roast the sprouts a few hours early, reheat at 400°F for about 5 minutes, then add the apple, almonds, and goat cheese just before serving.
Substitutions: Feta, crumbled blue cheese, or shaved Parmesan can stand in for the goat cheese.
Frozen Sprouts: Fresh sprouts give the crispiest edges; if using frozen, pat them dry before seasoning and roast a little longer.
Make It a Main: Toss with cooked quinoa, farro, or pasta and top with grilled chicken or salmon.
