Southern Super Sprouts ~ The Southern Scoop’s Recipe of the Month
Get your family to love their vegetables and maybe even surprise yourself with our Southern Super Sprouts ~ The Southern Scoop’s Recipe of the Month! Known for their incredible nutritional value but less so for their incredible taste! If you’ve got a few minutes and a few limes let’s deconstruct how to get the kids to eat their veggies with a smile! Often inaccurately articulated, they’re actually “Brussels Sprouts”, not “Brussel Sprouts”! Brussels Sprout, or Brassica oleracea is in fact a cruciferous vegetable such as cauliflower, cabbage, garden cress, bok choy, and broccoli! An excellent source of Vitamins B1, C, and K, this super food is a no-brainer! Also an excellent source of dietary fiber, choline, potassium, phosphorus, and omega-3 fatty acids! In 40 minutes or less, you’ll be serving up nutritional excellence to the whole family!
What you’ll need:
~ 2-3 cups of small to medium size Brussels Sprouts (Enough to cover a sheet pan)
~ 2-3 whole lemons
~ Salt and pepper to taste
~ 1/4 stick butter
~ Cookie sheet and large mixing bowl
~ 40 minutes
Preparation:
Let’s get down to business! This entire recipe from prep to completion should take no more than 40 minutes!
~ Halve your brussels sprouts and toss into the large mixing bowl
~ Melt the butter in a small bowl (about 15 seconds in the microwave should suffice)
~ Juice the lemons into the melted butter
~ Drizzle the contents over the brussels sprouts and toss so as to coat them evenly
~ Roast on one side for 15 minutes, flip, then roast for another 15 minutes
~ Enjoy!
