It’s hard to hate on this healthy cruciferous recipe! The charred Brussels sprouts have a natural sweetness and each of the ingredients hit their own unique notes to compose a symphony of flavors! The tapenade lends a salty brine, the toum brings the umami, the balsamic glaze lends sweet and sours notes and the lemon zest does its part, playing the bright acidic notes.
CRUCIFEROUS TO THE RESCUE:
Brussels sprouts are cruciferous vegetables - along with broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale, and collard greens. Like their relatives they also pack a nutritious punch. Their high level of fiber support digestive health and may reduce the risk of heart disease and diabetes. They also contain kaempferol and omega-3 fatty acids which may inhibit cancer growth, prevent inflammation, and benefit heart health. They also contain high amounts of vitamin C, to the immune system, iron absorption, collagen production and the growth and repair of tissues.
RELATED RECIPES:
- Toum (Lebanese Garlic Sauce)
- Tantalizing Tapenade
TIME SAVERS:
- You can trim and halve the Brussels sprouts up to 1 day in advance. Just place them in an airtight container and refrigerate them until you’re ready to finish the recipe.
- Store bought hummus, bruschetta or pickled banana peppers all make wonderful substitutions in a pinch for this recipe.
DON'T CROWD THE BAKING SHEET:
If you crowd the pan, the Brussels sprouts will steam instead of roast. Keep them in a single layer so the air can circulate.
