Every year I like to work something new and unique into my Thanksgiving meal, and this year it’s going to be this Roasted Brussels Sprouts Salad. Whether you’re planning a big family gathering this year, or something more cozy and intimate, this Roasted Brussels Sprouts Salad will steal the show. This gorgeous mix of roasted Brussels Sprouts, sweet potatoes, pecans, goat cheese, and a tangy-sweet maple Dijon dressing is as gorgeous as it is delicious. And not only is it easy to make, but it was also super budget-friendly because I got all of the ingredients at ALDI—my favorite one-stop-shop for Thanksgiving. 🙌

Keep Your Thanksgiving Budget In Check

Putting together a Thanksgiving meal takes a lot of planning and, if you’re working with a tight budget, you’ve got to be extra careful to keep those costs in check. Thankfully, ALDI is coming through for us again this year! ALDI has hit the rewind button on over 50 classic Thanksgiving ingredients, reducing their prices to the lowest level since 2019. SCORE!

What’s in Roasted Brussels Sprouts Salad

And then the homemade vinaigrette is made with: Specially Selected 100% Pure Maple Syrup, Simply Nature Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, Burman’s Dijon Mustard, Simply Nature Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Stonemill Garlic Powder, salt, and pepper. BOOM. So easy.

How Much Does THis Make?

This recipe makes about 5 cups of salad or about 4-6 regular dinner-sized servings. If you want to make a bigger batch for a larger Thanksgiving, simply double the recipe and roast the Brussels Sprouts and Sweet Potatoes on two baking sheets (one for each).

What Else Can I Add?

If you want to take this salad up a notch, you have a few great options. Try browning some bacon in a skillet and using the bacon grease to oil up the Brussels and sweet potatoes before roasting, then crumble the bacon over the salad at the end. You can also add dried cranberries for a little extra sweetness.

How to Make Roasted Brussels Sprouts Salad – Step by Step Photos

Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Wash one pound of Brussels Sprouts and slice them in half.

Peel and dice one pound of sweet potatoes into ¾-inch cubes.

Place the prepared Brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes on a large sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with 2 Tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss each vegetable until well coated in oil, keeping the two vegetables separated on the sheet pan.

Make sure the vegetables are spread out in a single layer on the sheet pan. Transfer the sheet pan to the preheated 400ºF oven and roast for 20 minutes, then stir, and roast for an additional 10 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are nicely browned and the sweet potatoes are tender. If one vegetable reaches doneness before the other, simply scoop it off the sheet pan and continue roasting the other until it reaches your desired level of doneness.

While the vegetables are in the oven, prepare the maple Dijon vinaigrette. Whisk together 2 Tbsp maple syrup, 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, ¼ cup olive oil, ¼ tsp garlic powder, ¼ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp pepper. Set the dressing aside.

Add ⅓ cup chopped pecans to a skillet and heat over medium, stirring often, for about 2-3 minutes or until the pecans begin to smell toasty. Remove them from the heat as soon as you begin to smell the nutty aroma.

Once the sweet potatoes are tender and the Brussels sprouts are browned, remove them from the oven.

Add the roasted vegetables to a large bowl, then add the toasted pecans. Drizzle half of the dressing over top, then gently toss until everything is combined. Add more dressing to your liking.

Crumble about 2 oz. goat cheese over the salad just before serving. Enjoy!
