When I discovered how delicious Brussels sprouts are when the edges are lightly browned, whether by pan-roasting or oven-roasting, they became a top winter vegetable in my house. Both the Brussels sprouts and the mushrooms roast quickly in a hot oven. I roast them separately so that the juice from the mushrooms doesn’t prevent the Brussels sprouts from browning properly. You can serve the roasted vegetables with quinoa but I also love them with polenta, pasta and other grains.

Preparation
Step
1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets or baking dishes with parchment or foil and brush with olive oil. Place the Brussels sprouts on one and mushrooms on the other and toss each with salt and pepper to taste and 1½ tablespoons olive oil. Roast together in the oven, or 1 sheet at a time, for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through. The Brussels sprouts should be browned on the edges and tender. The mushrooms should be soft and there should be juice on the baking sheet.
Step
2
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together garlic, parsley and lemon zest (this is the gremolata).
Step
3
Tip mushrooms, with the juice in the baking dish, into a large bowl. Add Brussels sprouts and gremolata and toss together. Spoon quinoa onto plates or into wide bowls, top with the Brussels sprouts and mushrooms, spoon on any juice remaining in the bowl, top with crumbled feta or goat cheese if desired and serve.
Tip
- Advance preparation: You can roast vegetables a few hours ahead and reheat in a pan on top of the stove, or in a medium oven.

Yummy! I "may" have inadvertently dumped the juice from the mushrooms, but I replaced it with butter(!) and added a spring of thyme because mushrooms and thyme are best friends. I "may" have also been over generous with the goat cheese. The flavors increased in complexity as I finished my dish. This is a keeper!

Don't cut too much of the ends off, where they attach to the stalk. Then, when quartering, slice lengthwise and that end will keep them together.

Brussels sprouts need more than 20 minutes
Sandra Bates
I try to use what I have available, so I used Tuscan dried herbs and some fresh oregano instead of parsley, vegetable stock for the quinoa and Manchego for the topping. All successfully and we'll definitely have it again!
Shannon Carpenter
I cooked the quinoa with chicken stock for more flavor. This was incredibly delicious and will definitely make again! Next time may try adding carmelized onions, pine nuts and calamata olives. Though we found it to be perfectly flavorful as prepared on first try.

A very tasty dish that comes quickly together

Didn't have quinoa, so picked ramen noodles to serve it over. That said, I'm not sure this needs any starch with it; it's just delicious on its own.
Served alongside miso salmon and a Chardonnay
This was delicious and popular with a discerning crowd. Served it without the quinoa as I had already planned lemon/mint mashed potatoes. My guests found it to be unusual and delicious, commenting on the strong flavor of lemon zest. Definitely will do again.
Sharyn M
So delicious! I didn't want grains, so I roasted some baby potatoes alongside the brussel sprouts. Can't wait to make it again.
Tracey R
Delicious. Doesn’t need the quinoa or the feta.
susan
Took way more time to prepare with all the prep work and t wasn’t even good. Would not make it again
Maria R
The Brussel Sprouts were a bit too overwhelming for the mushrooms, might want to use cremini. The garlic was a bit overpowering, might want to toss with the veg and throw it back in the oven. I’m not impressed with the flavor balance.
Amanda
Added lemon juice, salt, and olive oil to the gremolata and made extra.
Valeria
Too garlicky for my taste, but otherwise lovely.
Albert P
Everything cooked well, good texture, but the gremolata lacked power. Could have been 25Mins in oven instead of 20.I loved someone’ else’s suggestion to use butter in the comments. Will try that next time. Am also thinking about maple syrup.
Bobbi
Definite keeper. I served it with Tilapia alla Putenesca made with frozen cherry tomatoes from last August and tortellini. It was delicious. I forgot the toasted breadcrumb mix on top. Maybe the Puttanesca sauce was a bit strong. But it was a nice combo of flavors.
Sue
I sautéed a red onion and a few green onions and added it to the mix. I don’t like adding cheese, but I wanted the salty flavor of Feta, so I added some crispy capers to the mix. Added two cups of cooked brown rice. (Used the Trader Joe’s frozen organic brown rice that cooks in 3 minutes in the microwave.). Finished with lemon juice and a few splashes of Meyer Lemon vinegar. Yum!
Christie
I would recommend including the cheese (listed as optional). I did not have cheese on hand and ended up adding a balsamic glaze to boost the flavor. Otherwise, great weeknight meal!
Ali
I added a sweet potato to roast with the Brussel sprouts and finished them off with a 3 minute broil after letting them bake for 20 and they turned out great. I think next time I’ll just cook up the Brussel sprouts and sweet potato and leave the mushrooms to another dish because now there are a lot of flavors but it’s still quite good! I understand adding lemon to brighten it but I think the sweetness of the sweet potato provides a good balance as well
