Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Grapes
Roasting vegetables is one of the easiest ways to prepare almost any kind of vegetable. I’ve roasted cauliflower, broccoli, beets, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and brussels sprouts, all using the same technique. It is super easy and quick, making it my go-to method for preparing vegetables on short notice, perfect for Thanksgiving and the Holidays.
So how do you roast vegetables? First, I choose vegetables or cut up vegetables so they are approximately the same size. This ensures even cooking time so that all the vegetables are done at the same time. Keep in mind that certain vegetables may take a little longer to cook through, so if you’re mixing different varieties of veggies, you may have to cut the harder ones up into slightly smaller pieces.
I spotted some pretty Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Grapes on the cover of Whole Living this month and gave it a try with some brussels sprouts I had gotten in my last CSA Box. I liked the contrast of the sweet grapes against the savory brussels sprouts.
If you’re looking for an easy side dish to make for Thanksgiving or over the Holidays, I would highly recommend making roasted vegetables using your favorite veggies.

i am totally bookmarking this! this would be perfect for my thanksgiving side!!! i love the grape and brussel combo!
I never thought to roast fruit with vegetables, but it definitely goes together nicely.
looks great! I have Brussels Sprouts on my site this week too. Love your version
Hi Alison – I’ll check out your brussels sprouts recipe, thanks for letting me know.
Very timely, as I’m putting the finishing touches on my holiday menu and am in need of one more green vegetable. And I love grapes, but would never have thought of putting these two together.
Can’t wait to see your holiday menu!
What a great combination! I am intrigued by the idea of sweet and slightly bitter flavors together.
I was too Kalyn, but it actually works.
What a beautiful & delicious combination of flavors & colors!
I do like the colors – holiday like don’t you think?
Roasting is my go-to method as well and really the only way to make Brussels Sprouts shine.
Oh, what a great idea! The grapes add just the right sweet touch against the occasional bitterness of brussels sprouts. The pine nuts are lovely too. I think I will try this at Christmas.
Perfect side dish for Thanksgiving!
What a great flavor combo! I can imagine the sweet taste of the grapes going very well with the strong flavor of the brussels sprouts. A much healthier recipe than brussels sprouts with bacon, etc. Looks delicious!
I LOVE brussels sprouts and I love grapes, but I would never have thought to put them together! I can just taste it now! Awesome!!!
I love roasted Brussels sprouts but haven’t paired them with grapes yet. Time to do some changing! Thanks Jeanette!
It is an unusual pairing at first sight, but it definitely works – hope you have a chance to try!
I will have to give this combo a try Jeanette – looks very interesting!
