One of the most underrated vegetables, in my opinion, is the Brussels Sprout. Maybe because some believe it to taste like grass...or ass. Either one. I however love them because they have so many healthy components. Much like broccoli, they contain sulforaphane and indole-3-carbinol which are anti-cancer properties. They also contain a high amount of vitamin C, which is great for the immune system. Of course you can find all of this information on Wikipedia, just like I did while writing this. However, I do know one of the best methods of cooking vegetables, in order to keep most of its nutrients, is to roast them.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees c.
Grab a cookie sheet pan, and cover it with tinfoil.
If you hate doing the dishes like me, then you will appreciate the tinfoil.
Next, evenly spread out your rinsed Brussels Sprouts.
Some people like just olive oil, salt, and pepper on theirs
More power to them.
I do not.
So, I get mine all dressed up for the occasion.
Annie Chungs Pad Thai sauce is pretty delicious
A little salty though, so not much is needed.
I pour olive oil and sprinkle them with garlic powder and cracked black pepper
Then spoon just a little Pad Thai sauce on each one.
Let them sit in the oven for about 25 to 30 minutes,
occasionally turn them over to evenly roast.
They should come out with a caramelized look.
Enjoy your cancer free meal!
