Roasted Brussels Sprouts (oil-free)

By Dr. Sirisha Potluri:

Ingredients:
• lemon juice,/ lime juice or balsamic vinegar
• maple syrup or date syrup (optional)
• Salt & Pepper, to taste
• garlic powder, to taste
• Freshly made mustard seed powder 1 teaspoon.
• Red chili powder to taste
• Turmeric and black pepper powder
Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400.
  2. Frozen Brussels sprouts can be used, but fresh is much better, in my opinion.
  3. Always wash fresh Brussels sprouts with warm water to remove any grit and germs. I like to
    toss them into a colander and rinse them under warm water.
  4. Cut Brussels sprouts half way in length.
  5. I usually place the sprouts on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper for oil-free baking.
    It also makes clean-up a breeze, because the baking sheet only needs to be wiped and put away.
  6. Just make sure that the sprouts are in a single layer and not overlapped, so they can cook well
    and have a chance to get nice and crispy
  7. Next, I like to mist the sprouts with lime juice and maple or date syrup and then sprinkle with
    salt, pepper, and garlic powder and other spices.
  8. Bake at 400 for approximately 20-30 minutes, until Brussels sprouts are crisp on the outside
    and tender on the inside.
  9. They can also be made in an air fryer @ 360°F for 12 minutes
