Salt & Vinegar Brussels Sprouts Chips

brussels sprouts chips

I’ve been super healthy all week. No french fries. Not a lot of processed foods. But I’m craving something salty. I loooove chips. They are my weakness. So I decide to have a snack and pour myself a nice bowl of brussels sprouts chips?… No, I haven’t gone bonkers. And I know that chips and brussels sprouts aren’t normally put together in the same sentence. But for all you plant loving people out there that have made or eaten kale chips, it’s the same concept.

Crispy, salty, slightly tangy chips made from bite sized brussels sprouts that are drizzled in olive oil and baked in the oven. Yes. So much yes πŸ‘ŒπŸŽ‰

Did you know that this stinky, cruciferous veggie contains more cancer fighting phytonutrients than those found in kale, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, or mustard greens? Brussels sprouts are also anti-inflammatory, good for heart health, promote digestive support, and when cooked properly they contain tons of vitamin K, vitamin C, folate, and a host of other nutrients.

Dark Chocolate Dipped Figs

It’s no secret that chocolate is my favorite food. It’s considered a food group, right? 🍫 πŸͺ Well, it should be. Who do I call about that?

And ever since I rented out a house with a fig tree in the yard a few years ago, I’ve been obsessed with fresh figs. When I combine these two loves together, what do I get?

πŸŽ‰πŸŽŠπŸ†πŸ˜‚β€οΈπŸ‘πŸŽ‰

These Dark Chocolate Dipped Figs are so easy to make. They make a great snack or dessert, only contain a handful of ingredients, and they’re vegan! Win/win/win. They’re incredibly sweet and juicy, with chocolately goodness and a hint of saltiness.

Despite being incredibly tasty, fresh figs have numerous health benefits. Here are a few:

  • good source of potassium, which helps lower blood pressure
  • full of dietary fiber, which has a positive effect on weight management
  • source of the trace mineral manganese
  • fig leaves contain anti-diabetic properties and lower the level of triglycerides, and can possibly inhibit the growth of some cancer cells

Fig season is just about over, so if your local store still has them in stock (or if you’re lucky enough to have access to a fig tree), grab some and make this delicious and healthy treat!
