BrusselSprout

This recipe was born out of me trying to clean my fridge out but it ended up delicious and I can’t wait to share with you all! I love not wasting food and it’s always a great way to stay creative in the kitchen. Who would have thought brussel sprouts would make killer nachos?!

I can’t wait to hear what you think about this unique nacho recipe!

Ingredient Highlight

Brussel Sprouts: Brussels sprouts are low in calories but high in fiber, vitamins and minerals. Their high fiber content helps support regularity and gut health. Brussels sprouts also contain alpha-lipoic acid, an antioxidant that’s been researched extensively for its potential effects on blood sugar and insulin. Insulin is a hormone that’s responsible for transporting sugar from your blood to your cells to keep your blood sugar levels under control.

Tips from Chef Michaela

Don’t be afraid to get creative in the kitchen! It’s amazing what you can do with odds and ends in your fridge. Another great way to eliminate food waste with odds and ends in your fridge is to make soups or stews. Anything goes in the kitchen!
