Looking to up your side veggie game this Thanksgiving? Well, look no further. This Mediterranean-inspired roasted Brussels sprouts recipe is simple, quick, and oh so yummy — it’ll be gone in seconds!
These Brussels sprouts are more than your typical roasted sprouts. These oven roasted veggies feature a deliciously crisp exterior, and are generously seasoned with flavors inspired by Mediterranean (specifically Greek) cuisine. Fun fact: the spice choices were pulled directly from the marinade I use for making chicken gyros!
To put this dish over the top, I’ve included a trustworthy recipe (I’ve used it for years!) for a creamy and flavor-packed tzatziki sauce. It’s bright, garlicky, and a perfect pair for veggies, pita bread, gyros, and more! The tzatziki sauce is best made ahead of time and stored in the fridge hours before being served.
