If you’re a closet snacker like me, you’ll want to make these Brussels sprouts chips! They’re salty and crispy chips healthy enough to have a few handfuls.

Whenever I prepare my sprouts for roasting, I cut the stems off right at the base of the baby cabbages and pull off the outer leaves. Nowadays, instead of chucking the leaves into the trash, I toss them in fat and bake them into crunchy Brussels Sprouts chips. (Please discard the really wilty ones.) My thrifty Chinese mama should be very proud of her number two daughter.

    1. You can store them in an airtight container with a desiccant packet for a few days. They don’t stay super crispy after the first day, though.
