I made this with barley and feta cheese. I was disappointed that I didn’t remember the time correctly and ended up roasting the vegetables and cranberries for 35 minutes. The brussel sprouts were a tad burnt but overall fine. The cranberries, however, had to be tossed. So the end result was that I had fresh craisins in the dish and in the end the flavor was very good. I served it with a side of chicken thighs. If I do it again, I will not roast the craisins.

This recipe is over-the-top, crazy-good!!! But let’s be so for real…the serving size is ONE, lol. I ate this entire thing myself, granted over two days, but you if you love Brussel sprouts, you will not be able to stop yourself. I’ve made it with fresh and dried cranberries, and fresh make it soggier and tarter, but the grains absorb the moisture. If I do dried, I’ll add them a bit later so they don’t cook as long as the sprouts. In love with this recipe and will eat it weekly until it’s safely Spring in western NY.

This recipe is delicious. The roasted whole cranberries are sweet with a bit of bitterness that nicely offset the roasted brussels sprouts. I didn’t have pecans so I roasted some pistachios. Equally as delicious. I topped my dish with Pt. Reyes Meyer Lemon & Honey goat cheese. I have bragged about this dish to anyone that will listen. My friends all know that I love to cook. Try this dish!

In reply to J fisher. Hi J, I'm sorry this didn't work for you. Did you have the right size pan? It's important to not overcrowd the pan. Brussels sprouts need some breathing room on the pan, or they'll produce so much steam that they never crisp up.

In reply to Mary Sprogell. Hi Mary, I think it would be great with quinoa.

Hi! I just made this tonight and it was delicious! I didn’t have any wild rice so I used brown rice and it worked well. I’ll definitely make it again. Thank you for all your creative and fun recipes! Happy New Year!

This was a fabulous way to enjoy brussel sprouts with the Christmas addition of cranberries and the protein in the pecans and cheese. Our friends do not enjoy feta or goat cheese so an opportunity to have again soon with the cheese

In reply to Molly. Add dried cranberries at the end, rather than roasting.
