They’re not your mother’s Brussel Sprouts, your whole crew will love this recipe!

It seems like Brussel Sprouts are having a moment! I never used to see Brussel sprouts on restaurant menus and now they’re everywhere. I think they’re delicious and they’re very healthy.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF BRUSSEL SPROUTS

Low in calories, at less than 40 per cup, Brussels sprouts are also low-carb, packing just 8 grams per cup raw, including 3 grams as fiber. And they’re nutrient powerhouses, providing a range of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and a little bonus plant protein making them a nutritious addition to your diet. They may also come with added health benefits, including the potential to reduce the risk of cancer, decrease inflammation and improve blood sugar control. source

TOASTED PECAN BRIE BRUSSELS SPROUT BITES

1. First, this recipe can easily be doubled or tripled.
2. As well, even though I served these as an appetizer, you can easily toss everything together in a bowl and serve as a side dish.
3. If you serve as a side dish, throw in some dried cranberries for extra flavor, texture, and nutrients.
4. Furthermore, I used brie cheese, but you can use any soft cheese. Havarti would be delicious. Also, try mild blue cheese.
5. You can also use walnuts or almonds instead of pecans.
6. I get Everything Bagel Seasoning here. However, you can find it at most grocery stores now. As well, you can use salt and pepper to season with.
