I have gone from a little ginger baby hating veggies to an adult appreciating the nutrition they bring to each meal. Part of ‘leaning-out’ during my whole 30 process is eating more vegetables. Although I will readily admit I do not reach for veggies when hungry, I have learned to prepare them in a healthy and delicious way.

Brussel Sprouts are one of my favorites. Last night I was craving salt and crunch and wanted a nice complement to some yummy pork burgers I had whipped up. After looking through the pantry, I found we had a whole bottle of Organic Meyer Lemon Olive Oil and brussel sprouts – perfect and easy for Lemon Roasted Brussel Sprouts. An important note is that the Olive Oil is from a local specialty store that features all natural organic olive oils- aka there is no added sugar.

Lemon Roasted Brussel Sprouts

Picture
Yield: 2 servings
Time Prep: 10 min
Time Cook: 20- 25 min

Ingredients:
3 cups of shredded raw brussel sprouts
1/8 cup of Organic Lemon Olive Oil
1/4 Lemon
Salt and Pepper

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. While the oven is preheating, wash the brussel sprouts and chop off the ends. Throw them into the food processor to shred or chop by hand into thin strips. Place the brussel sprouts into a plastic bag with olive oil and salt and pepper.

Place the brussel sprouts on a cookie sheet and sprinkle with lemon juice. Place the brussel sprouts in the oven for 20-25 minutes until crispy. Serve hot and they are the perfect light compliment to any meal!
