Nutritious, delicious, and garlicky side dish for all of your holiday get-togethers!
Brussel sprouts are an integral part of the holiday season in my household, and are always a hit friends and family! This is a vegan-ized version of a recipe from my mother, who would always make these brussel sprouts (with bacon and parmesan too) on Thanksgiving. Now that I’m the main chef in the house, it is my duty to make this scrumptious side dish!
Many people roast their brussel sprouts in the oven, which is great, but I prefer this pan-roasted method that is both quicker and saves you oven space (I know my oven is jam packed to the brim with pies, potatoes, stuffing, etc. on the holidays)! I also topped mine with some vegan cheese and pomegranite seeds so emulate the white and red pops of color that the bacon and parmesan used to provide before I vegan-ized this recipe. They’re totally optional, but if you like the taste and aesthetically pleasing pop of color, I highly suggest adding them!
You will loooove this recipe, as it is:
– quick; about 15 mins of cook time
– super flavorful; this one’s for my fellow garlic lovers
– nutritious; get some greens in on the holidays
– and just down-right delicious!
