Garlic Roasted Brussel Sprouts are quick to make and a delicious veggie option.

Brussel sprouts are small but pack a nutrient punch!

They are full of vitamins, minerals, and help to support your immune system. With this time of year, having a strong immune system will keep you fit and healthy. I used to hate brussel sprouts until I had them roasted. Total game changer. Before, they were always way too soft and mushy (which BTW, I can’t stand overcooked veggies).

It wasn’t until my boyfriend and I went vegan and gluten free (it was his idea, he lasted a year, I lasted the summer but had meat almost every Friday during that time) when I was in grad school. We lived apart during this time. I came home for the summer to do my internship, and he had already started. Being the awesome person that I am, I joined because why not have some accountability? As soon as I went back to school, I stopped lol. If anything, I learned how to roast veggies like a boss and came up with some simple ways to get protein without eating meat. It was a great learning experience.

These tiny cabbages are my second favorite veggie.

Roasting them is the best way to eat them in my opinion. When roasted, they have the power to change a veggie hater into a veggie lover.

Here’s a quick and simple recipe to start adding these in to your eating plan.

Enjoy! Just go ahead and pin this recipe because you’ll be making these again!
