They’re not your mother’s Brussel Sprouts, your whole crew will love this recipe!
It seems like Brussel Sprouts are having a moment! I never used to see Brussel sprouts on restaurant menus and now they’re everywhere. I think they’re delicious and they’re very healthy.
HEALTH BENEFITS OF BRUSSEL SPROUTS
Low in calories, at less than 40 per cup, Brussels sprouts are also low-carb, packing just 8 grams per cup raw, including 3 grams as fiber. And they’re nutrient powerhouses, providing a range of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and a little bonus plant protein making them a nutritious addition to your diet. They may also come with added health benefits, including the potential to reduce the risk of cancer, decrease inflammation and improve blood sugar control. source
TOASTED PECAN BRIE BRUSSELS SPROUT BITES
- First, this recipe can easily be doubled or tripled.
- As well, even though I served these as an appetizer, you can easily toss everything together in a bowl and serve as a side dish.
- If you serve as a side dish, throw in some dried cranberries for extra flavor, texture, and nutrients.
- Furthermore, I used brie cheese, but you can use any soft cheese. Havarti would be delicious. Also, try mild blue cheese.
- You can also use walnuts or almonds instead of pecans.
- I get Everything Bagel Seasoning here. However, you can find it at most grocery stores now. As well, you can use salt and pepper to season with.

- 1 pound Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved
- olive oil spray or avocado or coconut spray
- 1 tablespoon Everything Bagel seasoning I get it here
- 1 and ½ cups pecans whole
- 8 ounces brie cheese cut into small slices
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- ½ teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425ºF. On a large baking sheet, toss brussels sprouts with oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake until crispy, about 25 minutes.
- While the Brussels sprouts bake, stir together the honey, hot sauce, and paprika in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir. Set aside.
- Remove from the oven and immediately top with brie while the Brussels Sprouts are warm.
- Reduce oven temperature to 350°. Scatter pecans on a large sheet pan and bake until they are toasted, 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt.
- Arrange the Brussels sprouts with brie on a serving platter. Top each pecan and a drizzle of hot honey.
You stated that this could be tossed together for a side dish. How would that work, exactly?
I’d cut the Brussels sprouts into quarters (or you could shave them) and spread them on a sheet pan. Drizzle them with the oil and cook until they get tender. Pull them out and top with the cheese, seasoning, pecans and put them back in the oven until the cheese melts. Enjoy!
Tried it last night! Amazing, we all loved it!
Oh yay!! Happy you liked it!
On step 3, I think you meant to remove the sprouts from the oven and top them with brie while the sprouts (not cheese) remain warm, correct? Will try this recipe tonight and serve with a salad and roasted chicken thighs. Sounds absolutely scrumptious! Thanks for sharing.
Yes, that for catching that. I corrected it in the post.
