Brussels sprouts are a cruciferous vegetable, and therefore are super good for you, in lots of ways. Let’s count some of them:

  • Detox

  • Gut health

  • Loaded with antioxidants

  • Anti-inflammatory

  • Nutrient rich (wide range of vitamins and minerals)

  • And much more!

I love Brussels sprouts. Seriously love them. If they are on a menu, that’s what I order.

So of course, I make them myself too. My version is stripped down, and still delicious. Not to mention easy!

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts

  • Avocado oil

  • Salt to taste (optional)

  • Turmeric powder (optional)

Instructions:

  • Half Brussels sprouts

  • Toss in a bowl with avocado oil to coat the sprouts

  • Spread out on a cookie sheet, sprinkle with salt (optional), and turmeric powder (optional)

  • Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, toss/flip and bake for another 20 minutes (or if you are lazy like me, I bake for 40 minutes and don’t bother to toss/flip them, still works great)

  • Enjoy!
