Roasted Brussels Sprouts Feta Skillet

Simple roasted Brussels Sprouts with Red Onion, Chickpeas and Light Feta, finished as a warm skillet meal for two.

Ingredients

  • 350–400 g Brussels Sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 1 small Red Onion, sliced into thin wedges
  • 2 tsp Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp Dried Oregano or Mixed Italian Herbs
  • 1 small Garlic Clove, minced, optional
  • 1 can Chickpeas, drained and rinsed, about 240 g
  • 60–70 g Light Feta, crumbled
  • 2 tbsp Low-Fat Plain Yogurt, optional
  • Salt
  • Black Pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C or 180°C fan.
  2. Toss the Brussels Sprouts and Red Onion with Olive Oil, Oregano, Garlic if using, Salt and Black Pepper.
  3. Spread everything on a baking tray in a single layer and roast for 18–22 minutes, turning once, until the Brussels Sprouts are browned at the edges and just tender.
  4. Add the Chickpeas to the tray, toss gently, and roast for 5–7 minutes more until warmed through and lightly crisp.
  5. Transfer everything to a skillet or small baking dish, scatter over the Light Feta, and place back in the switched-off warm oven for 3–4 minutes so the feta softens slightly.
  6. Serve warm with Low-Fat Yogurt on top or on the side.

Recipe Variations

  • Add a handful of fresh Spinach in the last 2 minutes of roasting for a softer green finish.
  • Serve with cooked Barley for a more filling meal with a slow blood sugar response.
  • Replace Oregano with chopped Parsley or Chives for a fresher flavor.
  • Add a few sliced Cherry Tomatoes before the final warming step for more juiciness.

Notes

  • Using 2 tsp Olive Oil keeps the dish lighter while still helping the vegetables roast well.
  • Do not overcook the Brussels Sprouts, so they stay sweet and not bitter.
  • The Yogurt adds creaminess with less fat than extra cheese or oil.
