Smashed Parmesan Brussel Sprouts
My child is a freak of nature when it comes to his love of Brussel Sprouts! He gets so excited when these bite sized green veggies are placed on the table in front of him when any other child would throw a fit! Even husband and I are giving him side eyes when he shows his enthusiasm for vegetables but we encourage him because they are so healthy for us!

Benefits to Eating Brussel Sprouts


  • Helps protect against cancer with antioxidants
  • Builds bone with Vitamin K
  • Boosts our Immune System with Vitamin C
  • Fights inflammation and heart disease
  • Restores out gut health
  • Protects our eye and skin health
  • Source of potassium for nerve function
  • Protects our brain health
  • Balances blood sugar and fights diabetes
I try to share these health benefits (source) every we serve Brussel Sprouts to encourage the kids to nourish their body and just eat all the vegetables! And these Brussel Sprouts are really delicious so the grown ups don't mind eating them either, really. 

But eating vegetables plain, even the farm fresh or freshly harvested vegetables, can be redundant so we like to dress them up. We've done this with our Garlic Butter Green Beans and our Roasted Parmesan Carrots, too!

These Smashed Brussels Sprouts below are served with Pork & Mushroom Garlic Sauce which is also a Keto meal.
