Chili Garlic Brussels Sprouts

Brussels sprouts are the most underrated vegetable for athletes. For someone that takes vegetables very seriously, this is a BIG statement. Like most, I stayed far away from the mini cabbage heads for most of my life. I found them bitter and mushy and intimidating to cook. It wasn’t until I went on my roast-everything-at-500° phase that I figured out how to love brussels. I’ve since refined my “recipe” to achieve the perfect crisp with ultimate flavor. Some of my favorite flavor combinations are: Brussels sprouts + apples + goat cheese Brussels sprouts + cauliflower + garlic + olive oil + rosemary Brussels sprouts + dried cranberries + walnuts Brussels sprouts + garlic + lemon Brussels sprouts + lemon + mustard + parsley Brussels sprouts + orange + sesame oil They live in the best of both veggie worlds functioning as both a carb and a green-- ideal for athletes in training. When I am at max miles, you’ll find a different combination of these guys in my oven every night.
