Many people add bacon to make their brussel sprouts taste better, but this vegan, sauteed brussel sprouts recipe uses toasted pecans with smoked salt for that crunchy, smokey taste.
When it comes to brussel sprouts, there seem to be two camps; those for the sprouts and those against them.
The against crew were likely victims of soggy, overcooked grey versions from frozen packages.
If you’re a brussel sprout hater, this recipe just may be the conversion recipe for you.
That was Andy’s challenge to me.
Take the dreaded and most disliked vegetable that ends up on Christmas tables and make them delicious.
I’m delighted to say that Andy is now a BS convert.
There are many ways to cook brussel sprouts. They can be sauteed, baked, steamed.
I used to make them with bacon and butter but these ones are vegan and sauteed with smoked salt pecans.
Lotsa love and holiday hugs,
