Healthy Food: Brussels Sprouts

Today, while hungry, I stood in front of the fridge and realized there was almost nothing (I should probably go food shopping.) But thankfully I always have an assortment of frozen veggies, because they're cheap and never go bad, so I stock up! I grabbed a Publix brand bag of frozen Brussels sprouts, a super healthy food, which i've never cooked before (that's probably because I haven't cooked much before, so I need easy recipes!)


I marinated the brussels sprouts in olive oil, salt, and Mrs. Dash table seasoning mix and roasted in the oven at 400 degrees for 30-40 minutes. They came out delicious!!! So easy! and it is a super healthy food.  

This is how they came out: (Even took out my professional camera for this shot)

I ate them as a snack, but grill some boneless skinless chicken breast and you have lunch! 


Health Benefits of Brussels Sprouts 
  • High in fiber! 6 brussels sprouts have 3g of fiber (So were talking about lowering cholesterol, and keeping you full for longer!) 
  • They have more glucosinolates than broccoli and most leafy greens, a phytonutrient that protects from cancer. 
So common, go cook some your self!
