Brussels Sprouts Chips from Nom Nom Paleo
I hate Brussels sprouts. I always have with the rare exception of them being soaked in an unbelievable amount of butter (which can make most bad things edible). Now that I’ve started this post off in such a negative tone, let me continue by saying that I LOVED these Brussels Sprouts Chips from Nom Nom Paleo. Made from the outer leaves of the Brussels sprouts which are then soaked in a fat and then baked — you have the makings of something truly delicious and healthy.
If you’re a closet snacker like me, you’ll want to make these chips anytime you buy Brussels sprouts. Whenever I prepare my sprouts for roasting, I cut the stems off right at the base of the baby cabbages and pull off the outer leaves. Nowadays, instead of chucking the leaves into the trash, I toss them in fat and bake them into crunchy chips. (Please discard the really wilty ones.) My thrifty Chinese mama should be very proud of her number two daughter…
