Prep the ingredients in advance for a stress free Thanksgiving. Note: take the time to arrange the Brussels Sprouts with the cut side down so that they brown and carmelize. #Gluten Free #Vegetarian
Finishing note: Adding the Gorgonzola on top of the warm Brussels Sprouts causes it to melt slightly and it is so so good.

Are you hosting Thanksgiving this year? What’s your signature dish?
Hope you will join us for Healthy Holiday Favorites in December next week.
This recipe is perfect for today because it is Eat a Cranberry Day! Another delicious recipe. I love the brussels sprouts, gorgonzola, cranberry combo. Of course the pecans [sometimes I use walnuts] and balsamic make it that much better 🙂
Walnuts will work as well. I also love Gorgonzola-enjoy!
Oooooh good idea! Love the combination of brussels with the tart of the cranberry! That sounds wonderful! Especially with gorgonzola, that is one of the best cheeses! Cant wait to see what else we have today! Have a great monday my friend!
I loved how the combos went together as well. Looks like we are set for another great link up. Happy Meatless Monday
another fantastic pairing–brussels and cranberry. I would also add in a squash (for my own preferences) but mmmmm!
I like squash too next time I can add that in!
Omg this looks Ah-mazing. This will def be on my table asap;)
So glad you like it! Enjoy 🙂
Yeah for baby cabbages they are my favorite! I need some new ideas for how to cook them.
I am trying to make myself like them more-the cheese helps
oh yum! What a great combination of flavors!
They went really well together! Hope you give it a try
Love love love brussels sprouts! This recipe sounds awesome. I’ll have to try it one day when hubby isn’t working from home because he can’t stand the smell. Yes, I am the only woman on the planet that sneaks brussels sprouts rather than chocolate LOL.
That is crazy! My kids said it smelled like dinosaur feet when I made them. Don’t know how they know what dinosaur feet smell like 🙂
I was secretly hoping you would do a brussel sprout recipe! I hated them as a kid but recently tried them (took some persuading ) at a restaurant a few months ago and they were fantastic! I like the thought of the cheese on top too= yum!
I hated them as a kid too but I am trying to like them now. I loved the cheese with them. If you have any other recipes you’d like me to make I am always looking for inspiration 🙂
Those cranberries look absolutely stunning next to those Brussels sprouts! Yum!
They did come out looking great! The cheese was good on them
yum! that looks so tasty and combines some of my favorites 🙂
I really liked the tart and savory combo together. Hope you give it a try
Holy cow, that looks amazing. I need to keep this in mind for Christmas dinner this year. I may just keep it all for myself though!
I think it would be great for Christmas dinner too-it’s certainly the right colors.
Yum! I love brussels sprouts and the addition of cranberries is so festive. Also very pretty.
Thanks! I loved how the colors looked together. Hope you enjoy it
OMG! Such a pretty dish!! Looks amazing and PERFECT for thanksgiving!!! Every table MUST have brussels as far as I am concerned! RIGHT!!??!!
I agree! They came out so good-hope you like them
YUM! Can you come to my Thanksgiving? My family doesn’t like brussel sprouts but I want some!
Yes! I think we’d make great dinner companions 🙂 I will be there virtually
This is very pretty . I am sure the twang from the cranberries really sets off the roasted brussels sprouts.
It does! And the cheese just adds to the goodness
Sounds delicious! I’ve never thought to do blue cheese with brussel sprouts but that sounds like it would be a great combination. Sadly we never do brussel sprouts for the holiday itself as most of my family members don’t like them 🙁
I have been roasting brussel speouts alot lately. But these extra ingredients sound delcious to add to them. Never thought of this. Thanks!
Thanks! Hope you enjoy 🙂
Sadly I am not a Brussel Sprouts fan, but I have a sister who is a health food text book and this is something she would love! I’ll have to pass it onto her:)
I am trying to make myself like them more. I loved the combo of these ingredients.
I love Brussels with fruit! I had a similar salad last week, but they used cranberries. I can’t wait for turkey day!!!
Hope you have a great Thanksgiving!
Wow this looks delicious! I have never had brussel sprouts but this recipe just made the top of my list!
What never?! Hope you give them a try
Haha nope, my parents hated them so never had them growing up. I’ve been seeing recipes pop up for them all over the blogosphere the past few weeks though so I am going to have to give them a go. This is a first recipe I have seen without bacon (which we don’t really eat) so I am 99.9% sure this how I am going to make brussel sprouts for the first time 😉
Ha you will never see bacon on my site! I never liked them before either but I am trying to now. The cheese helps 🙂
This looks good. I have never cooked brussel sprouts myself but would certainly try this recipe.
Thanks! Really never had them huh? You have to try them!
This looks REALLY pretty and tasty! 🙂 Yummy!
Thanks hope you give it a try!
These look amazing! I am usually in charge of desserts and a few side dishes for Thanksgiving. My husband’s favorite is bacon wrapped green beans so those are a must!
You won’t find any bacon here! LOL maybe he won’t miss it-these were really good hope you enjoy 🙂
what a great recipe! I love brussels sprouts!
Thanks! I am loving them with the cheese
I love brussels sprouts and roasted is the best. Sauteed is good too 🙂
Thanks! All the flavors went so well together. Happy Thanksgiving
I love brussels sprouts but my family isn’t as fond as them as I am. Perhaps preparing them this way will make them like them a bit more?
Well you can try! My kids told me they smelled like dinosaur feet LOL
