A simple and delicious recipe for roasted Brussels sprouts, elevated with a combination of sweet, savory, and tangy toppings.

Ingredients
- 1 1/4 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved or quartered
- 1/4 cup butter or oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/3 cup crumbled goat cheese

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Place the prepared Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet. Top with sliced butter or drizzle with oil.
- Roast in the oven for about 15 minutes.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Add the garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and toss to evenly coat each Brussels sprout in the butter and seasonings.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for another 20-25 minutes, or until the sprouts are tender with crispy edges.
- Let the Brussels sprouts cool for a few minutes, then transfer them to a serving bowl.
- Top with the crumbled goat cheese, dried cranberries, and chopped walnuts. Toss gently and serve warm.
Notes
- This is a very easy side dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a holiday meal.
- Roasting the Brussels sprouts at a high temperature is key to achieving a delicious, caramelized exterior and a tender interior.
- The toppings are added after the sprouts come out of the oven, allowing the goat cheese to soften slightly without melting completely.
- This recipe is a great balance of different flavors and textures: earthy, sweet, tangy, and crunchy.
