How is your Thanksgiving planning going? Are you cooking for a large group, small gathering or going to your favorite restaurant? Whether or not you are hosting Thanksgiving you will need to try these brussels sprouts.
Whether or not you like sprouts these will convert you into a sprouts lover.
Pinky promise…
Many people get turned off from brussels sprouts early on. Sure they can be bitter and tasteless if not prepared correctly.
My recipe will transform the pickiest sprout people. I have served this many times to doubtful guests who have been transformed into brussels sprouts lovers. Really.
What makes them so fabulous and different is making sure to slice the sprouts super thin.
Of course, you cannot go wrong with feta cheese, pecans and smoked paprika thrown into the mix.
Don’t forget a side of Maple Cinnamon Cranberry Sauce and creamy Brown Butter, Coconut Mashed Sweet Potatoes. Turkey too.
With my savories I often like a hint of sweetness, a nice pop from pomegranate seeds, dried cranberries, golden raisins or in this case goji berries is a nice flavor twist.
I have been meaning to post this recipe for a few years and it has always gotten bookmarked for “the right time.”
Happily the time is now and hopefully you get to enjoy this recipe at your holiday table or any time at all!

You are preaching to the converted – I adore Brussels sprouts and would eat them as a main course like this – love that you used Goji berries – so pretty with the pink and the green and the white…
I am so glad brussel sprouts are so popular recently! They are one of my fav veggies. Feta and pecans sound like the perfect additions!
Anna, the feta & pecans certainly make this veggie more fun….
Brussels sprouts are a staple in my home. Glad to have another recipe to try!
Yeah I have definitely been one to prepare them wrong! Eeeek they are horrible when done wrong! But I am definitely willing to try them this way 😉 They look and sound really good with the feta and pecans! And oh my I love that fork! It is beautiful 😀
Thanks Carla! Wrong is so not right with Brussels sprouts. Hopefully you can try this recipe soon 🙂
I feel like I have been living on Brussels sprouts lately, and I am not complaining one bit. I love the things. And adding feta and pecans is right up my alley!
Throw feta cheese on top and I’m sold on pretty much anything! These sound fantastic for Thanksgiving with the pecans.
I love that you use a cast iron skillet too. I love mine. We are recent converts to the benefits of brussels sprouts, so I’m always looking for new recipes. This looks amazing.
Love brussels. This is a great way to use them
