    🌿Ingredients

    Here are your ingredients for these delicious cheesy garlic Brussel sprouts:

    Brussel sprouts - the star of the show. If you're on the fence, or downright don't like Brussel sprouts, I promise that roasting them and covering them with garlic and vegan cheese (for ultimate cheesy flavour) will change your mind!

    Almond parmesan - cheese is often a big topic of conversation when it comes to veganism or trying more plant based food. We were gifted this Almond "Parmesan" by I Am Nut OK, a small incredible artisan vegan cheese company. Their almond parmesan is perfect for roast vegetables, soups, stews and salads, AND, it keeps for a long time. This healthy alternative to dairy parmesan is made primarily from almonds and other tasty natural ingredients and flavours. We're a little addicted to it! Alternatively, you can use nutritional yeast, which has a cheesy, nutty flavour and will go well with the Brussel sprouts.

    Lemon zest - the lemon zest gives it a fresh taste which contrasts with the stronger garlic and parmesan! A good zester is also grate (ha ha, see what I did there!) to have in the kitchen. This microplane one is really good.

    Chestnuts - I love chestnuts! They're in long-life packs so I keep them for all year round. They have a lovely nutty taste and are a good protein source. Of course you can add other nuts or seeds instead, which also go great with these garlic cheesy Brussel sprouts.

    Garlic - garlic is just simply a must in roast veg, especially Brussel sprouts, and makes everything taste better. Louise had some smoked garlic in her kitchen when I made this, so that went straight in for a oakey tasty kick! But regular garlic is fine.

    Salt & Pepper - do this to taste.

    Olive oil - a bit of olive oil for roasting is great, but if you want to do this oil-free, you could use a silicone baking sheet (this is the one I use).

    👩🏽‍🍳How-To

    As a child I wasn’t a fan of Brussel sprouts. Probably because I only ever had them boiled to death, and let’s face it, they have quite a strong taste! Roasting vegetables really brings out their natural sweetness, and is such a versatile way to cook as you can experiment with the flavours you roast them with, and this dish has the perfect combination of cheesy vegan parmesan and garlic. 

    Here's how you make these delicious cheesy garlic Brussel sprouts:

    1. Prepare the sprouts by cutting off the stems and making a small cross with a knife across the bottom, just a few millimetres deep.
    2. Par-boil the sprouts for a few minutes in boiling water to allow them to soften a little. Drain.
    3. Cut them in half and place on a baking tray.
    4. Add the rest of the ingredients to the sprouts, except the extra toppings. Mix well.
    5. Roast for 30 minutes at 200°C / 400°F / Gas Mark 6, or until the sprouts have browned.
    6. Sprinkle over your extra toppings (optional) before serving!
