Brussels Sprouts Chips

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.

Time to make Brussels Sprouts Chips!

Serves 2-4

Ingredients:

• 2 cups Brussels sprout leaves (outer leaves from 2 pounds of sprouts)
• 2 tablespoons melted ghee or avocado oil
• Kosher salt to taste
• Lemon zest (optional)

Equipment:

• Large bowl
• Measuring spoons
• Two rimmed baking sheets
• Parchment paper
• Microplane zester

Method:

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Mix the leaves, ghee (or avocado oil), and salt together in a large bowl.

Line two large baking trays with parchment. Divide the leaves evenly in a single layer on each tray.

Bake each tray for 8-10 minutes or until crispy and brown around the edges.

Microplane some lemon zest over the chips (optional), and…

…chow immediately. Brussels sprouts chips are the new kale chips!
