Nut-Free Hemp Pesto Roasted Brussel Sprouts
Nut-Free Hemp Pesto Roasted Brussel SproutsIngredients:
FOR THE SPROUTS
2 cups fresh brussel sprouts, with the ends sliced off (small sprouts work best)
Olive oil
Sea salt and pepper to taste
FOR THE HEMP PESTO
¼ cup hemp seeds
3 cloves garlic
juice of 1 lemon
2 large handfuls fresh basil leaves
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 teaspoons nutritional yeast
a dash of sea salt
TOPPINGS:
Extra hemp seeds
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400*F
Wash and dry your brussel sprouts, then cut off the stems. Next, place them in a baking tray with a few tablespoons of olive oil, then some sea salt and pepper to taste. Toss everything together, then bake in a large baking sheet or roasting dish for 25-30 minutes.
Start on the pesto while your brussel sprouts are cooking. Making it is incredibly easy. You literally just put all the ingredients together in a small blender (food processors don’t work well for this amount of pesto) and blend until smooth. Pour the contents into a small dish and set aside.
Once the brussel sprouts are done, remove from the oven and spoon dollups of the pesto on top and stir it on in! Sprinkle with some extra hemp seeds and serve.
