Roasting shaved Brussels sprouts is the best way to eat them!  The course texture enhances their nutty sweetness when they become lightly charred. If you're not a big sprout lover, I promise these have a good chance of winning you over.  So easy and so delicious!

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb. Brussels sprouts, shaved or shredded (you can use your food processor or buy already shredded or shaved sprouts at the grocery store)

  • 2-3 tbsp. avocado or coconut oil or ghee

  • 3-4 cloves garlic, minced

  • Sea salt and pepper to taste

  • Juice from half a lemon

  • ¼ cup toasted pumpkin seeds (optional)

  • ¼ cup shaved Parmesan cheese (optional)

Preparation:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

  • Line baking sheet with parchment paper or silpat non-stick baking mat

  • Place shaved Brussels sprouts and garlic in a bowl, drizzle with oil or melted ghee.  Add salt and pepper to taste.  Mix everything well to coat.

  • Transfer mixture to baking sheet and spread out in even layer.

  • Roast in oven for about 15 minutes total – check about half way through to stir and ensure they’re cooking evenly.

  • Remove from oven when they are as dark/crispy as you like and let sit for a few minutes to cool off.   Transfer to serving bowl, add lemon juice and stir well.  

  • Add optional pumpkin seeds and/or Parmesan cheese.

  • Serve and enjoy!
