Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Sweet Potatoes with pecans, feta cheese, and balsamic drizzle is an incredibly flavorful side dish, packed with nutrients. Serve it alongside your main entrée for a filling meal.
For me, fall is all about getting silly cozy and indulging in things that warm me inside and out.
It’s about those off-yellow, green, and orange colors that you couldn’t possibly wear any other time of year, and that super warm decades-old hoody with torn kangaroo pockets you stole from your dad circa 1995.
Fall is the season for fleece, cinnamon, mulled wine, and by golly, it’s about side dishes!
Call me crazy, but I could eat pounds upon pounds of roasted vegetables.
They are my ultimate comfort food.
You may have seen in my Crowd-Pleasing Roasted Vegetables recipe that I typically use a large variety of vegetables; however, from time to time, I like to keep it simple using 2 or 3 veggies, then making it fancy it with nuts, cheese, and a reduction sauce.
This simple Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Sweet Potatoes recipe is the perfect side dish for fall and winter.
Roasting the brussels sprouts and sweet potato with spices gives the vegetables extra flavor.
Adding the pecans, feta cheese, and balsamic reduction takes the dish to a unique level without adding a whole lot of complication.
Ingredients for Roasted Brussel Sprouts and Sweet Potatoes:
What we need to make this healthy side dish happen is fresh brussels sprouts, sweet potato, feta cheese, pecans, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, sea salt, and a pinch of allspice.
This combination of flavors and textures is so pleasing to the palate and happens to pair very nicely with just about any main entrée!
Serve it with Instant Pot Lamb Shanks, Garlic Herb Roast Beef, or Pan Seared Shrimp with Lemon Garlic Risotto!
Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Sweet Potatoes
Ingredients
- 4 cups brussels sprouts trimmed and halved
- 1 large sweet potato chopped into ½-inch chunks
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- Pinch allspice
- 3/4 teaspoon sea salt to taste
- ¼ cup raw pecans
- 1/3 cup feta cheese
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Add the brussels sprouts, sweet potato, olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, allspice, and sea salt to a small casserole dish (8" x 8" or 9" x 13" will both work!). Toss everything together to coat the veggies.
- Place on the center rack of the oven and bake 30 to 45 minutes, stirring once half-way through, or until veggies are golden-brown and cooked through.
- In a small saucepan, heat the balsamic vinegar over medium-high and bring to a full boil. Cook at a full (but controlled) boil, stirring frequently, until vinegar is reduced by 1/2 of its original volume, about 5 minutes.
- Taste veggies for flavor and add salt to taste. Serve roasted veggies with pecans, feta, and balsamic reduction drizzled on top.

The recipe looks fabulous and the oven is awesome. Love the red knobs!
I love brussel sprouts and would like to add them to our diet more. This looks like a good place to start!
This recipe looks amazing ! cannot wait to try it. Love the Wolf Oven that would be awesome to win.
What a delicious combination and perfect autumn dish! Love the oven:)
I am with you Julia on all of these comforts… roasted veggies, creamy stout, John Cusak movies… fav hoodies and great music..
The Wolf easy bake oven looks like a winner. Seems like it would be the handiest oven ever.
Great recipe! Love to win the oven!
Awesome giveaway! I love my toaster oven and use it all the time. It’s on its last legs though, so this is perfect timing. The Wolf toaster oven looks fantastic!
So glad sprouts are back in season! Thank you for hosting the giveaway!
Wow! This dish looks so great–and perfect for fall weather!
Brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes, 2 of my favorite things!! Would love a kitchen counter oven as well 🙂
I am finally a Brussel Sprout lover!! After 34 years I finally can eat them and I’m so happy! I’ve always, eventually eaten what I didn’t like as a child, but these took a while. I am now ready to try all the recipes I find! Thanks for the chance too! 🙂
This would especially come in handy for huge dinners like Thanksgiving. We always have to prioritize what we will eat fresh out of the oven and what will have to be warmed up. Oven space is at a premium on those days and this would alleviate that.
This would be awesome to have!
this dish looks sooooo yummy. all of my favorite fall things!
