This recipe for roasted chopped Brussels sprouts with feta cheese and walnuts is GUARANTEED to make a Brussels sprouts lover out of anyone! Crispy and savory and cheesy and scrumptious.
This recipe for chopped Brussels sprouts with feta cheese may be among the most exciting things I have ever written about on my blog. Maybe not to you, although I think you are going to fall head over heels for crispy, tender chopped sprouts mixed with tangy feta cheese and roasted walnuts.
But for me, it is a personal and hard-won triumph in that I have converted the Southern husband over to the Brussels Sprouts Side. Up until now, I had to sneak them into things like chicken salad with Brussels sprouts, and even that didn’t really work.
But this is a bona-fide all Brussels sprouts all the time side dish where the sprouts are front and center…and he likes it! He really likes it! My work is hereby finished. Except for…let’s make some!
Side note: yes, I realize that St. Patrick’s Day is only hours away, and I really should be posting about scones and other Irish scrumptiousness. But because I need to immediately share the Brussels sprouts excitement, this dignified photograph will have to do…
Little brothers, is all I have to say about that one. And please click here for my recipe for Irish eggs benedict, which will help you out with all that leftover corned beef you are about to have.
Here’s how you make chopped Brussels sprouts with feta cheese!
Meantime, back at the Brussels sprouts.
Get yourself a pile of them, trim them up and chop them up in your food processor.
Toss them with with some olive oil and salt and pepper, stir in some chopped walnuts and broil them until both the sprouts and the walnuts star to look a little charred in places. Charred is very good.
Now transfer them to a bowl and toss them with some crumbled feta cheese. Drizzle this bowl of wonderfulness with a little more olive oil and a sprinkle of sea salt and fresh ground pepper.
You now have a bowl full of heaven. Go serve it to the Brussels sprouts skeptics in your life!

Oh I love the idea of chopped brussels sprouts! I just made a brussles sprouts dish a few weeks ago and now I’m hooked. I’ve got to try this version with feta. Sounds SO good!
And now I can make it all the time, because the Southern husband is a believer! Brussels sprouts for everyone! :)
Brussels sprouts…my favorite! Love the feta and the walnuts!
Three great tastes that go great together! :)
i’ve not tried brussels sprouts in their chopped form, so that’s definitely worth a go, especially if walnuts and feta are also involved. i really like the looks of this one!
And the roasting makes an amazing difference!
These are green, so they totally count for St. Paddy’s day!! As a fellow brussels lover, I am head over heels for this!
I can’t believe the whole Brussels sprouts are green thing didn’t occur to me. :) Hope you are doing well, mama! xo
I’ve been avoiding cooking Brussels sprouts for the last little while, since last year we lived in a really tiny apartment (and I mean miniscule!), so the last time I made them the whole place smelled really cabbagey and it wouldn’t air out! It was a real shame, because I absolutely love them. Fortunately we live in a much bigger, two-bedroom place now with a generous-sized kitchen, so I think I’ll start making them again to go with dinners soon. I love your idea of chopping them up and tossing delicious feta cheese through them, Kate…sounds AMAZING!
I had an apartment like that too once, and I know exactly what you mean! Roasting actually helps with the cabbagey thing. :)
Happy St. Patty’s day, Kate! My love for brussels runs DEEP, and I happen to think this dish is absolutely PERFECT for today! I mean they are green… and totally delicious! LOVE LOVE LOVE these, my dear! Chopped, roasted and topped with some feta and walnuts?! OMG, swoooooon!! I need these in my belly immediately! Pinned! Cheers, friend!! xo
YOU ARE SO RIGHT – they are green, and that TOTALLY counts as a St. Pat’s recipe! Hope you had a fabulous, delicious day – xoxo!
I love Brussels sprouts, but I’ve never had them like this. I bet they are so delicious when they get crispy and I’m sure the walnuts add a great crunch – I can’t wait to try this :)
Crunchiness is always the best, right? :)
SOLD!
Ha! Thank you!
They do enjoy Brussels sprouts in Ireland…I remember that my brothers had a fairly steady diet of them when they were at Blackrock College. Probably resisted them……..
I bet if they had them with cheese they would have looked at Brussels sprouts in a whole different way! :)
