We love brussels sprouts. They’re one of the healthiest foods on Earth, and we think they taste great. Brussels sprouts are a good source of dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They also contain some protein and a small amount of carbs, but very few calories and virtually no fat – less than 0.5g per cup. You should definitely eat them as often as you can. If you’re not too keen on the way brussels sprouts taste, you might want to give this gratin a try because it’s packed with intense flavors. Smoky tempeh-bacon, sautéed garlic and onions, crispy bread crumbs and a cheesy sauce make these sprouts taste incredible.
