Oven baked brussels sprouts

Thursday November 14, 2019 - by

Brussels sprouts are in season right now and we love them! You can prepare them in different ways; in the oven, cooked, in a hotchpotch. This time I prepared oven baked brussels sprouts with carrots, walnuts and red bell pepper. Before going in the oven I marinate the sprouts with chili powder and agave syrop to give a sweet spicy taste.

Sprouts are a winter vegetable, which grows widely in the Netherlands. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and high in fiber, vitamins and minerals. A vegetable with a lot of health benefits among which loaded with plenty of vitamin C and vitamin K. Furthermore, sprouts contain magnesium, iron, calcium, phosphorus and manganese. Full of fibers and relatively high in protein.

In this recipe I cooked the brussels sprouts for 6 minutes first before roasting. After cooking they go in the oven together with the other veggies and the walnuts. The nuts are from my parent’s walnut tree. We are lucky, we never have to buy walnuts. This autumn dish is actually a very simple low carb meal but very tasteful and healthy! Naturally, you can add some potatoes or rice if you want to eat some carbs with the sprouts.
