People sometimes ask how do you get the bitterness out of brussels sprouts.
I must admit that brussels sprouts do have their own unique taste.
While the taste may seem bitter, it can also be easily ‘masked’.
This recipe uses a tasty vinaigrette to help balance out that bitterness.
You can also add a bit of sweetness to balance out the bitterness.
I like a teaspoon or so of honey or maple syrup for example.

Tips for making roasted brussels sprouts
I mentioned that this is a vegetarian recipe as it has feta cheese in it.
Swap out the cheese for tofu or simply omit the cheese if you are looking to make this a vegan recipe.
Here are some more great tips for you.
- There are other cheese choices that you can use in place of the feta. I like a parmesan or Romano for example with this recipe. .
- This is one of those recipes that works best when roasted on a simple baking sheet. I like using an older baking sheet that is not lined with parchment paper for successful vegetable roasting.
- Stir or shake the roasting Brussels sprouts periodical while they bake. This will assure that they get evenly baked .
How to prepare the Brussels sprouts.
If you are using frozen sprouts that come in a bag, they are probably already in good shape.
However, you should have these sprouts defrosted for even roasting.
For this recipe, the Brussels sprouts should be cut in half.
Remove any outer leaves from the sprouts.
Also, cut of the brown ends if they are still attached.
