Brussels Sprouts Chips Recipe

 

Summer has meant a lot of BBQs, trips to the beach, pizza, ice cream and eating on the go. The lack of routine has made it hard to stick with healthy eating for myself and for the whole family. As we try to get back into our school routine, I’m making an effort to incorporate healthier snacks into our day-to-day to help us eat for more energy in the afternoon.

Eating for Energy in the Afternoon

I notice that when I eat more processed foods, I feel sluggish and don’t have enough energy to keep up with the kiddos in the afternoon. My mood takes a hit and I have less patience with my kiddos. When I swap the unhealthy afternoon snacks with healthy options, I find that I have so much more energy and patience with everyone.

Benefits of Brussels Sprouts

Brussels sprouts are a great source of potassium and vitamin C and vitamin K. The great fiber will help to keep you full without all of the calories from other kinds of chips. Plus, these sprouts chips call for nutritional yeast, which I’m obsessed with. If you haven’t tried nutritional yet, you’ve got to check it out! It’s often used as a cheese alternative in vegan cooking because of its cheesy, nutty flavor.

  • Spread the Brussels sprouts evenly in a single layer on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with nutritional yeast.

  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the Brussels sprouts are caramelized and starting to become crispy.

  • Remove from oven and sprinkle with more nutritional yeast, if desired.

  • Cool for at least 10 minutes before serving – they will become even crispier.
