ROASTED COCONUT ASPARAGUS & BRUSSELS SPROUTS

 

I LOVE THIS SWEET & SALTY SIDE OF TWO OF MY FAVORITE VEGGIES!

Roasted coconut asparagus & brussels sprouts is one of my all-time favorite sides for a stand-alone meal or to prep for the week. I can’t wait for you to try this!!

Difficulty Level: Easy

Cook Time: 20-25 minutes

Serving Size: ~4 (depending on how hungry you are! J)

What You'll Need:

  •  1 bunch of asparagus
  • 16 oz brussels sprouts (or 1 bag from Trader Joe’s)
  • 1.5 tbsp organic virgin coconut oil
  • Salt, garlic salt & pepper to taste

Here's How:

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Trim the dry, white ends off of the asparagus.  Chop a small amount of the end from your brussels and remove the outer layer of leaves. Slice each brussel in half.
  3. Spread asparagus and brussels sprouts onto a baking sheet.
  4. Melt 1.5 tbsp organic virgin coconut oil until it is completely liquid. 45 seconds in the microwave usually works for me.
  5. Drizzle the coconut oil over the asparagus and brussels sprouts.
  6. Lightly sprinkle everything with salt, pepper and garlic salt.
  7. Using a spatula, mix all ingredients so the seasonings and oil are equally distributed.
  8. Place baking sheet in oven for 10-12 minutes.
  9. Remove sheet from oven and use spatula to mix everything on more time.
  10. Place baking sheet in over for another 10-12 minutes.
  11. You will know your dish is ready when some of the brussels sprout leaves are light brown and crispy and when brussels and asparagus are soft to the touch.
  12. Remove sheet from oven, let cool and enjoy!
