SPICY SMASHED BRUSSEL SPROUTS

Serves 4

Here’s why you want to eat BRUSSEL SPROUTS:

They’re super nutritious, wonderful for supporting the joints and increase good cholesterol. They’re also great for migraines, acne, anxiety and skin rashes like eczema + psoriasis. Additionally, brussel sprouts, if eaten often, can help with depression and the ability to focus.

Ingredients

  • 1½ lb brussel sprouts

  • 4 tbsp garlic and herb seasoning

  • ½ tsp sea salt

Bang Bang Sauce:

  • ¼ cup tahini

  • 2 tbsp sriracha

  • 1 tbsp sweet chili sauce

  • Water, as needed (about 3 tbsp)

Directions

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil, and preheat the oven to 400F. Prepare a sheet pan with parchment paper.

  • Trim the ends off your Brussels sprouts and peel off the woody skins, then boil for 8 to 10 minutes.

  • Drain then shock under cold water.

  • Transfer to the prepared sheet pan, and smash each sprout with the bottom of a mug. Add olive oil, salt, pepper and seasoning of choice.

  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until crispy. In the meantime, prepare the bang bang sauce by combining the tahini, sriracha, sweet chili sauce and water until a smooth sauce is formed.

  • Remove from the oven, pour the bang bang sauce over top, or serve on the side as desired. Add a drizzle of balsamic glaze to finish, if desired.
