Ingredients
- 2 lbs Brussels Sprouts Trim the ends
- 2 tablespoon Avocado Oil
- 1 tablespoon Nutritional Yeast
- 2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ¾ teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Thyme
- Salt & Pepper to taste
Garlic Cashew Sauce
- ¾ cup raw cashews
- 2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 5 tablespoon almond milk can sub water
- 1 ½ tablespoon olive oil
- ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¾ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425F
- Steam your brussels sprouts (or submerge in boiling water) for 8-10 minutes
- Place your steamed brussels sprouts on a lightly greased baking sheet and use a cup to smash the brussels sprouts. You’ll want to apply a good amount of pressure to get them thin enough.
- Once smashed, top with some avocado oil (this will make them super crispy) and seasonings and put them in the oven for 20-25 minutes (depending on how large the brussels sprouts are)
- Meanwhile, make the sauce by throwing all ingredients in a food processor or blender and blend until smooth.
- After 20-25 minutes, the brussels sprouts should be crispy, take them out, dip them in the garlic cashew cream sauce, and enjoy!!
