Sprouting jerk

Roasted brussels sprouts are a staple all year at our house. With this wave of 80-degree weather (finally!) the past few days, I thought I’d give my sprouts a bit of extra kick one of my favorite jerk seasonings. Let me know what you think!

Ingredients:

• brussels sprouts

• 1 can of chickpeas, rinsed and dried

• jerk seasoning of choice

• oil of choice (I used avocado oil and unflavored coconut oil)

• thyme

• coriander

• all spice

• sea salt

• optional: cauliflower, maple syrup

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Quarter the brussels sprouts and drain the can of chickpeas.

2. Add oil and chickpeas to pan or griddle, and cook about 5 minutes until browned and slightly crispy.

3. Add the brussels sprouts (and cauliflower, if using) to the pan. Season with salt and cook for about 5 more minutes.

4. Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish and sprinkle with the jerk seasoning and spices.

5. Roast for 15-20 minutes, allow to cool, and serve with coconut rice or by itself as a healthy snack!
