Brussel Sprout Chips
Quarantine has got me wanting snacks! I want crunch and salt and satisfaction, but I also want to keep it cute, if you catch my vibe. Something gluten-free, vegan, low carb & full of fiber…hmmmm. A veggie chip is totally the answer! Move over Kale, there’s a new veggie chip in town! Brussel Sprout Chips are my new fave. They are super easy and sooooo crunchy & delicious. So good, in fact, that I can get my kid to eat them by the handful. Yes please!
I don’t know why I hadn’t thought of this before, because the Brussel sprout leaves are the perfect little chip shape! They require way less fuss than a kale chip (and they’re tastier, IMO). I used purple sprouts today, but regular green sprouts are just as perf.
Something to note here, salt goes a long way with these. I’d hold off on salting until they come out of the oven and you can salt to taste. Start with a little and add if you need. And don’t be afraid to play with seasoning! Add garlic powder or maybe a cajun spice, to really spice them up! Have fun! And don’t forget to take pics and tag me on Insta @katiewebbernyc!
You’ll need….
Brussel Sprouts
Olive oil (or cooking oil of your choice)
Salt
Preheat your oven to 425. Cut the stem off of each sprout and peel the leaves off. Spread the leaves out on a sheet pan, careful not to pile up (they need to be spread out to prevent them steaming and getting mushy). Drizzle with olive oil (usually about 1-2 Tbsp for an entire sheet of sprouts) and toss the leaves, coating all the leaves with oil. Bake for 8 minutes, take them out and flip them around, and back into the oven for another 4-6 minutes. If this is your first time making these, keep a bit of an eye on them, to get the timing perfect with your oven (every oven is so different). They will turn a bit brown, that’s ok. Take them out and sprinkle with salt. *Note, a little salt goes a long way with these, so start small and taste. Enjoy!
