Broiled Brussels Sprouts
Coconut oil provides a slightly sweet and nutty flavor to these naturally bitter vegetables. And, before you get too excited, that is NOT bacon in the photo! What you see is the result of broiling with a little bit of Date Honey (see Notes below). But this recipe is still very good, even without bacon.
Ingredients
- 1 12- ounce package frozen Brussel sprouts
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Cook Brussels sprouts according to package directions. Drain.
- Add coconut oil, salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat.
- Place under oven broiler on top rack (a small toaster oven works well). Broil 15-20 minutes, depending upon the degree of broiling you prefer. Stir halfway through cooking time.
- Transfer to a glass dish, and serve warm.
Notes
- When you mix the coconut oil with the salt and pepper, stir in 2 teaspoons of Date Honey to add a touch of sweetness.
- Substitute coconut oil with a different oil (avocado oil, walnut oil, etc.).
