Grilled Brussel Sprouts

I love vegetables but I have never really enjoyed Brussel sprouts, until now.

This recipe is basic, but I have added whole garlic and fresh rosemary to my sprouts before and it always comes out divine. The crispy outer and the nutting interior is what makes this dish the perfect side. I usually enjoy it with pumpkin mash in the evenings, or sweet potato mash in the day.

Did you know: Brussel sprouts originate from the cabbage family. Basically it’s a bunch of tiny cabbages. They’re low in calories and rich in protein. One cup of raw Brussel sprouts meet the recommended daily requirements for vitamin C and vitamin K.
