Preheat oven to 425 °F (218 °C). Arrange halved brussels sprouts onto a large baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and toss brussels sprouts together to make sure each sprout is nicely coated in oil and seasoning. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the brussels sprouts start to brown. Remove from oven and let cool.
In the meantime, while the brussels sprouts are roasting, add a teaspoon of olive oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and dark in color, about 10-15 minutes.
Remove skillet from heat and carefully add 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar to the skillet. Toss the shallots in it then pour into a large bowl.
Add the brussels sprouts to the large bowl along with the golden raisins. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar then toss to coat everything.
Serve on a plate and top with cotija or feta cheese before serving.
