Roasted Brussels Sprouts + Zucchini Noodles

When it comes to yummy veggie recipes, I’m your girl. After posting this picture on Instagram, I’ve had a lot of people ask me for this Brussels sprouts and zucchini noodle recipe (AKA: zoodles). It’s seriously the easiest and yummiest recipe – oh and definitely super healthy.

Ever since I was a little kiddo, I’ve been the pickiest eater and my aversion to all things green didn’t help. I hated vegetables. I was way more into buttered bread and noodles – ya, definitely not fancy. But as I got older, my love for veggies increased and so did the type of recipes I made. 

Definitely give this recipe a try - it's amazing!



Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Brussels sprouts, cut in half

Olive oil

Salt + pepper

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Wash and cut Brussels in half. Toss in olive oil and season with salt + pepper.

Bake for about 10 minutes on one side. Flip Brussels. Bake 10 minutes on the other side.

*Tip: If you want them super crispy like mine, bake about 14-15 minutes on each side.

 

Zucchini Noodles

Zucchini, spiralized

Spiralizer

1-2 Tbsp. Olive oil

Salt + pepper

Wash zucchini. Spiralize and sprinkle salt on the noodles.

Let sit for 10 minutes – this causes the noodles to ‘sweat’ out water. 

Wipe off excess water from noodles.

Heat skillet with olive oil. Toss noodles onto skillet.

Cook/warm noodles for about 3-4 minutes.

Throw ingredients in a bowl and top with Parmesano-reggiano. Oh and I added Frank's Hot Sauce because I top everything in hot sauce! ;)
