Loaded Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Balsamic Glaze

While this might seem odd, loaded roasted Brussels sprouts with balsamic glaze and grapes are the best pairing! Roasting results in super crispy Brussels while also bringing out the natural sweetness of the grapes. It’s finished with creamy and salty feta cheese, so each bite is a party in your mouth.

If I find Brussels sprouts buried in my fridge come dinner time, there’s a pretty big possibility that I’m going to roast them with grapes.

And if I roast those together, the possibility is even greater that I’ll toss it all up with some balsamic glaze. And if feta cheese happens to have graced my cheese drawer? Well that’s just the perfect side dish, friends.
