Easy

A fantastic warm vegetable dish to serve as a side dish. If you want to add extra vegetables to the table—which is always a good idea—this is the perfect dish. The combination of roasted Brussels sprouts with melted feta and the fresh, sweet touch of pomegranate is simply divine! You'll probably even convince the non-Brussels sprout fans with this dish! Great with a beef wellington or a roast beef.

Preparation method

How do you make this?

Preparation
Preheat the oven to 195°C (375°F). Cut the Brussels sprouts in half.

Crumble feta
Crumble the feta coarsely into an oven dish, so that the base is nicely covered.

Add Brussels sprouts
Arrange the Brussels sprout halves, cut-side down, among the feta cheese. Press lightly to ensure they are well-integrated.

Herbs & baking
Drizzle everything with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are golden brown and cooked through and the feta begins to melt and brown slightly.

Finishing
Remove from the oven, top with pomegranate molasses, optionally extra pomegranate seeds for a fresh crunch and a handful of arugula on top for color and zest.

Tips

For extra crunch, you can add some roasted nuts like walnuts or almonds.
The pomegranate syrup adds a sweet-sour depth – don't use too much, it's strong in flavor.
Also delicious with a spoonful of hummus or tahini as an extra dip.
Serve this dish warm, straight from the oven, for best results.
