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!
Ingredients you need to make this brussels sprouts side dish!
Here’s how you make chopped Brussels sprouts with feta cheese!
Get yourself a pile of Brussels sprouts, trim them up and chop them up in your food processor. You want them in pretty small bits and pieces/
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. And…you’re done! You have reached peak Brussels sprouts deliciousness.
More tips for making this scrumptious brussels sprouts recipe!
Grab your handy paring knife and slice off that little woody bit at the bottom, and if there are any brown or wilting leaves on the outside, tear those off as well. You’ve now trimmed your Brussels sprouts!
You can! Chopped pecans or macadamia nuts would both be heavenly. Or you can leave them out altogether if you are making this for someone who can’t eat nuts.
Feta cheese is usually in the “fancy cheese” section of your grocery store, and usually comes either in a block or already crumbled. I highly recommend getting the block and crumbling it yourself – it is much creamier and fresher that way. And if you have some leftover, give this recipe for Roasted Butternut Squash with Feta a try!

You now have a bowl full of heaven. Go serve it to the Brussels sprouts skeptics in your life!

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! :)

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? :)

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. :)

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 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!
Mary Ann | The Beach House Kitchen says
Brussels sprouts…my favorite! Love the feta and the walnuts!
Three great tastes that go great together! :)
Gayle @ Pumpkin 'N Spice says
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! :)
