WHAT'S SO GREAT ABOUT BRUSSELS SPROUTS + RECIPE

Posted by Naturopath . on

Brussels sprouts are high in fibre and the high fibre content can lower our cholesterol by binding with bile acids that the liver produces from cholesterol for digesting fat. They are full of antioxidants including Vitamins C, E, and A, as well as the mineral manganese. One and a half cups of Brussels sprouts contain about 1/3 of the daily recommended amount of omega-3 fatty acids and the wealth of vitamin K found in Brussels sprouts has been shown to effectively regulate our body’s inflammatory responses. They are also high in Vitamin C which will ensure a healthy immune system.

 

What you need:

  • 2 cups of Brussel Sprouts.
  • 1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts (activated if possible).
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (activated if possible).
  • 1 tablespoon butter (only real butter) OR 1 tablespoon coconut oil.
  • 1 finely grated zest orange.
  • Pinch of salt (I used Himalayan pink salt).
  • 1 teaspoon of cracked black pepper.

 What to do:

  • Mix the butter, orange zest and hazelnuts in a small bowl with some freshly ground black pepper (this can be done 1 day ahead and kept covered in your fridge).
  • Place your butter/coconut oil mix on your baking tray along with your Brussel sprouts and mix together.
  • Sprinkle with pepper and salt.
  • Place in oven at 180 and bake for 10mins.
  • Remove from oven, check and stir.
  • Continue roasting until the sprouts are tender and lightly browned

 

Enjoy!
