Ingredients

• 500 grams Brussels sprouts
• 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 3 whole Garlic cloves
• 4 pieces Sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil)
• 8 pieces Kalamata olives
• 1.5 tablespoons Capers
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 50 grams Feta cheese (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any discolored outer leaves. Cut each sprout in half lengthwise.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

Step 4

Spread the Brussels sprouts cut side down on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy.

Step 5

While the sprouts are roasting, thinly slice the garlic cloves and chop the sun-dried tomatoes and Kalamata olives into small pieces.

Step 6

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden. Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, olives, and capers, and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 7

Once the Brussels sprouts are roasted, transfer them to a serving bowl. Drizzle with the lemon juice, and add the garlic, sun-dried tomato, olive, and caper mixture. Gently toss to combine.

Step 8

If desired, crumble the feta cheese over the top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy your Mediterranean Brussels Sprouts!
