Posted August 11, 2014

Bored with your same old brussle sprout recipe? Our friend Dr. Sarah Marshall, author of Food That Grows: A Practical Guide To Healthy Living With Whole Food Recipes, has a great, new recipe for you to try.

Serves 8:

2 lbs brussle sprouts, trimmed of any discolored leaves and halved
6 ounces prosciutto, coarsely chopped
1 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
2-3 tablespoons olive oil
Sea salt to taste

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl tossing in olive oil. Place on cookie sheet or in roasting pan. Roast for 30 minutes or until brussle sprouts are lightly browned.

Try This: This recipe is the basic standard we use for all our vegetable roasting. Add root veggies, red bell peppers, broccoli, or cauliflower for more diversity and different flavors.

Health Tip: Brussle sprouts are a Brassica vegetable in the mustard family (with cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, and kale). These tasty vegetables are full of antioxidants like carotenoids and vitamin C and have anticancer properties. They are well known in nutritional medicine for the immune strengthening abilities as well.
