“As I mentioned on a previous post, if you aren’t a fan of Brussels sprouts, you are probably preparing them wrong. Here, I simply tossed cooked, drained sprouts in melted Beurre Noisette (browned butter) – and it’s outstanding! I have done the same thing with cooked broccoli and its incredible! If you haven’t already tried browning butter, please give it ago.” – Monya

More on Brown-buttered Brussels Sprouts …

Brussels sprouts are an excellent source of dietary fibre, which is important for digestive health. Fiber helps regulate bowel movements, prevents constipation, and may lower the risk of certain digestive disorders.

Brussels sprouts are packed with essential vitamins. One cup of cooked Brussels sprouts provides over 100% of the daily recommended intake of vitamin C, which is important for a healthy immune system, skin, and wound healing. They are also a significant source of vitamin K, which is crucial for blood clotting and bone health.
 
Brussels sprouts are rich in minerals like potassium, which helps regulate blood pressure, and manganese. These play a role in bone formation, blood sugar control, and collagen production. Furthermore, Brussels sprouts contain antioxidants, such as quercetin and kaempferol, which help protect the body’s cells from damage caused by free radicals. This may reduce the risk of chronic diseases, including cancer and heart disease.

 

It is important to note that to maintain ketosis, it’s essential to track carbohydrate intake and ensure it aligns with your daily macro goals. Consulting with a healthcare professional is advised before making significant dietary changes.
