Brussel Sprout Nachos

Nachos go brussel sprout style with this plant-filled, better-for-the-body remake of the classic. Load these perfectly roasted brussel sprouts with all your favorite nacho toppings. This is my favorite comfort food dish!

Ingredients

  • Brussel sprouts
  • Oil of choice for roasting
  • Generous salt and pepper
  • Salsa of choice
  • Cheese of choice
  • Cookable toppings of choice
  • Fresh toppings of choice

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425.
  2. Prepare the brussel sprouts by trimming off the stems and then cutting each in half.
  3. Lay the brussel sprouts out, cut-side down for the best browning, on an oiled baking sheet. Salt and pepper liberally.
  4. Roast for 20-30 minutes until tender and browned. The cooking time will depend on the size of your sprouts, so keep an eye on them.
  5. While the sprouts are cooking, prep your other ingredients. This is a good time to do any chopping, grilling, fire-roasting, etc.
  6. When the brussel sprouts are done roasting, pile the sprouts them onto a smaller sheet tray with a rim. It's fine if they're two or three deep, since half the fun of nachos is the different layers.
  7. Add all the toppings you want to cook, including dollops of salsa throughout and a few big handfuls of cheese.
  8. Place the nachos on the top rack of the oven and broil for 5-10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly. Keep a close eye on them and move the sheet pan around as necessary.
  9. Remove the nachos from the oven and finish them with your fresh toppings.
  10. Serve immediately!
