It has the same creamy ranch taste as a sour cream base, but zero fat and more protein. Love it.
I also love the little brussels leaves that break away from the sprout and get super crunchy like a potato chip when you bake them. I scavenge for those before serving!
Salt these sprouts generously and make sure they have a thin coating of olive oil. I can't believe I used to hate brussels sprouts when I was a kid, what was I thinking?
Shopping List (Serves 4-6)1 mesh bag fresh brussels sprouts -- from produce section
1/4 cup olive oil
1 packet Hidden Valley Ranch powder
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup Greek yogurt (I used fat free)
Salt
1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Quarter your sprouts and coat them in olive oil, place them on a thin cookie sheet and sprinkle generously with salt. Bake for about 15-25 minutes. Look for those crunchy leaves to test if they are done.
2. Mix yogurt with about 1 tablespoon of ranch powder and lemon juice. Taste test, add more ranch if you like.
Serve while sprouts are still hot.
I have never ever had brussels sprouts. They look ... maybe OK?
ReplyDeleteI might have to try some.
I have a love/hate relationship with brussel sprouts. I love them based on the way they are cooked--and usually in a fine restaurant. I'm pretty certain that I would love this recipe, and I'm planning to try it. Thanks for the idea!
ReplyDeleteThis looks SO good and I don't even know if I like brussel sprouts.
