Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Parsnips 

If you don’t have enough time to make a crazy Thanksgiving dish, roast up some vegetables! We had a roommate dinner a couple weeks ago and this is what I made. It was the first time all 5 of us did something together/were in the same place at the same time since I joined in July. Other dishes included eggplant casserole, potato casserole, asparagus, and pumpkin pie from FRESH pumpkin. This was also the first time 3 of my roommates had parsnips!  Introducing people to healthy new foods brings me such great joy…hence my blog.

NEED:

1 lb brussels sprouts

2-3 parsnips 

2 tablespoons olive oil 

dried herbs or spices (I used 1/2 tablespoon rosemary, 1/2 tablespoon oregano, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper) 

DO: 

Preheat heat oven to 400 degrees F

Wash vegetables and remove any dirty or yellow leaves on brussels sprouts. 

Chop parnsips into 2-3 inch pieces. 

Put all vegetables into a bowl and add olive oil and spices and toss until everything is coated evenly. 

Roast for 30-35 minutes. The brussels sprouts should be golden brown on the outside. (note: this photo is BEFORE cooking so sprouts are green). 

Quick facts:

1/2 of brussels sprouts is only 30 calories. 

Brussels sprouts, like broccoli and cabbage, have natural anti-cancer properties (phytochemical!) 

Brussels sprouts are high in fiber, vitamin C and protein (compared to most vegetables). 

Parsnips are high in fiber, vitamin B/folic acid. 

Parsnips have 55 calories per 1/2 cup.

#prayforladiescode. Just a simple message, but please in this sad time keep the girls in your thoughts, and sent good vibes to the family that has lost a daughter way too soon. EunB was much too young to be gone, so I pray she finds comfort in her new home, and I keep Sojung and Rise in my thoughts. You don’t have to be a fan, but you do have to be a decent person and realize the severity of this accident.
