Method
Preheat oven to 200°C (392°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
For the vinaigrette: mince the garlic clove to a fine paste. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic paste, oregano, and salt. Set aside.
Trim the woody stems from the brussels sprouts and remove any wilted outer leaves. Halve any large sprouts so they are roughly uniform in size.
Toss brussels sprouts with 2 tbsp olive oil, 0.5 tsp salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread brussels sprouts cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 20 minutes.
Flip the sprouts and continue roasting another 8-10 minutes until deeply golden and tender. Remove from oven.
Arrange warm roasted sprouts on a serving platter. Crumble feta cheese generously over the top.
Drizzle the Greek vinaigrette over everything just before serving. Serve immediately while warm, or cool and store components separately for meal prep assembly.

Safety & Storage
Allergen Warning
This recipe contains milk from feta cheese. Use dairy-free alternative like vegan feta or omit for dairy-free version.
Cooking Temperature
Roast brussels sprouts at 200°C (392°F) until deeply golden and tender, approximately 28-30 minutes total. Use a calibrated oven thermometer to verify accuracy.
Cross Contamination
Keep raw brussels sprouts separate from ready-to-eat feta cheese during prep. Use separate cutting boards and utensils, or sanitize between uses.
Storage
Store components separately for meal prep: roasted sprouts in one container, crumbled feta in a sealed container, vinaigrette in a small jar. Combine just before serving to prevent soggy sprouts.
Shelf Life
Refrigerate feta within 2 hours of cooking. Consume within 3-4 days when properly stored. Discard if mold appears or if left at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
High Risk Population
Soft cheeses like feta carry listeria risk for pregnant women, elderly, and immunocompromised individuals. Ensure feta is from pasteurized milk and stored at safe temperatures.
Pro Tips
Technique
For maximum caramelization, make sure your brussels sprouts are cut-side down and spaced out — crowding causes steam and you lose that golden color we're after.
Batch Cooking
Roast a double batch of sprouts on Sunday. They'll stay crispy in the fridge for 4 days, and you can assemble these bites in literally 2 minutes whenever you're ready to eat.
From the chef
My Greek Vinaigrette is basically my secret weapon — I make it in big batches on Sunday and it transforms everything all week. These roasted brussels sprouts are the perfect canvas: they get beautifully caramelized in the oven, hold their texture when reheated (no soggy desk lunch sadness here), and the briny feta plus that bright, herbaceous vinaigrette makes every bite feel like a proper meal instead of sad meal prep.
