SPICY ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS This is my version of the Red Hot Brussels Sprouts I mentioned in the Bacon Brussels Sprouts recipe (here). It’s probably my favorite way to eat Brussels sprouts, and they make a great side dish for any number of entrées or just as a…
SHAVED BRUSSELS SPROUT SALAD WITH APPLE CIDER VINAIGRETTE I don’t know why, but I hardly ever do anything with raw Brussels sprouts. This quick and easy dish is what I make when I remember that they’re great raw, too. The combination of apple cider and honey with the…
ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUT SKEWERS These Brussels sprout skewers are a great party vegetable because you can make them ahead of time and then roast (or even grill them, if you’re cooking out) right before serving the rest of the food. They do take 30 to 40 minutes to…
PANTRY BASIC – CHIMICHURRI Chimichurri is fabulous on a big juicy flank steak, but it’s also fantastic on eggs. If you’re a fan of garlic and fresh green herbs, you’re going to love it—and it’s really good on almost everything, not just steak and eggs. Make it…
GINGER-GARLIC BRUSSELS SPROUT STIR-FRY This recipe combines my two favorite things: sautéed Brussels sprouts and Asian flavors. You could make these in the oven, but I prefer pan-frying them with lots of ghee—I’ve found that to be the best way to get them extra…
BRUSSELS SPROUT SOUP WITH SAUSAGE When I think of making soup, Brussels sprouts don’t usually come to mind, but this soup with sausage and lots of Brussels sprouts is super delicious and satisfying. It reminds me of winter weekends when I usually spend a lot of time…
BRUSSELS SPROUT HASH This hash makes a wonderful side dish or an amazing breakfast, either on its own or with the addition of eggs. I love how crispy the sprouts can get, and when paired with the spicy sausage, this dish is enormously satisfying. SERVES 4 PREP TIME:…
BRUSSELS SPROUT FRITTERS These fritters are kind of a combination of Broccoli Bites (here) and Zucchini-Spinach Fritters (here), except using Brussels sprouts instead. These are great on their own, drizzled with a little Ranch Dressing (here), or even stacked on top…
BACON BRUSSELS SPROUTS Any time I go to a new restaurant and there are Brussels sprouts on the menu, I make sure to order them—they’re my favorite vegetable, and I really enjoy encountering new flavor combinations. One of the best I’ve ever had is the Red Hot Brussels…
ASIAN BRUSSELS SPROUT SALAD This refreshing salad is a great option if you’re craving Asian food but don’t want to order takeout. The hot, tangy, gingery dressing goes wonderfully with the sprouts and mandarin oranges, but since it’s a salad, it makes a lovely side…
PANTRY BASIC PESTO My mom is known for her awesome pesto. We used to have pasta with pesto all the time when I was younger, but now that we’re Paleo we like to serve it on chicken, shrimp, and even salads. The original recipe had Parmesan cheese in it, but we simply…
GOLDEN BEETS WITH BLUEBERRY VINAIGRETTE Believe it or not, this dish originated when my brother created it for a Valentine’s Day tasting menu for his sweet girlfriend, Jane. Beets with blueberries is definitely an unusual combination, especially when the berries are…
