Blackened Parmesan Brussels Sprouts

It’s hard to believe, but I JUST got into Brussels sprouts, but this Blackened Parmesan Brussels Sprouts recipe will get anyone on the sprouts train! I’ve tried them in so many different ways, and was never convinced. A few months ago, they found their way into my fridge  (don’t remember how) and I made myself cook them so they wouldn’t go to waste. As a result, this recipe was born. The soy sauce adds a beautiful blackened color to the sprouts, and the medium-high heat creates the perfect crispiness. Now I make this recipe for brunch all the time, and I usually pop an egg in the pan for a more complete dish.

Brussels sprouts are packed with nutrition. They are a huge source of potassium, vitamin K, and vitamin C.  They’re also an excellent source of fiber. You can eat them for breakfast with an egg like I did or eat them as a side to get in those veggies for the day.  You’ll love how delicious this recipe is.

Starting with the Brussels sprouts, cut into quarters and set them aside.  In a pan, cook garlic with olive oil for a couple of minutes.  Add the sprouts to the pan with some soy sauce and turn up the heat to medium-high heat.  Cook this up for about 5-7 minutes, making sure you’re rotating the sprouts until blackened.  Top these bad boys off with some parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.  

As I mentioned, add an egg or keep sprouts as a side to your favorite grain and protein!  I love trying to get unique veggies in for breakfast so this recipe is a fun spin on brunch! What do you think about Brussels sprouts for breakfast? Let us know in the comments below! xo
