Baked Sweet Potatoes and Brussel Sprouts

These Baked Sweet Potatoes and Brussel Sprouts are tender sweet and savory all at once. Made with a few simple ingredients that you are sure to love.

I was looking to make a hearty vegetable side dish that I could pack into some meal preps for the week ahead.

And that is when I came across this “Brussel Sprout” tree. Isn’t it Amazing!!

I stood there and pondered what can I make for my readers that I have not already made with brussels?

And that is when I saw the yams and was like UHA!

You can serve these yam and Brussel sprouts with just about any meal, however they do work very very well as a side dish, think Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner.

HOW TO MAKE BAKED SWEET POTATOES AND BRUSSEL SPROUTS

  • Your going to want to start by washing, peeling and dicing the yams.
  • Same with the brussels sprouts, however I left my whole you can dice them as well if you desire.
  • Next toss them in a large bowl with your cooking oil of choice and season generously before baking in the oven on a large baking sheet at 400 f for 35 minutes.

A Wulla there you have it a hearty plate full of Yams and Brussels!

Kung Pao Chicken with Brussel Sprouts

This is my take on Kung Pao Chicken, traditionally peanuts are used in this dish and most definitely you can use those instead of the cashews.

Personally I much prefer cashews so that is why I have used them here. Kung Pao Chicken with Brussel Sprouts work so well together, and it’s a nice way to get in some extra fiber.

For this recipe today, I am using a skinless chicken breasts along with brussel sprouts, green onions and cashews.

You can use whatever vegetables you have on hand, such as red or green peppers, snow peas, broccoli etc.

If your wanting to serve more than 4 people, simply adjust the recipe with our easy to use serving adjuster.

An easy and healthy stir fry that anyone can make in under 30 minutes, the hardest part is washing and chopping the ingredients.

Serve over a bed of jasmine rice if desired I hope you enjoy this healthier version of Kung Pao.

MEAL PREP IDEA: Make enough to create a few meal preps bowls for the week ahead. Or have dinner for two with this recipe, and then create two meal prep bowls for the week ahead.

To make the bowls, simply place jasmine rice on the bottom and top with the Kung Pao Chicken with Brussel Sprouts. Want more preps? Simply double up the recipe with my easy to use recipe adjuster above.

Brussel Sprouts with Bacon and Balsamic

These Brussel Sprouts with Bacon and Balsamic are a family  favorite side dish.

The first time I made them was last Christmas and everyone was asking me for the recipe.

So here it is... BACON Brussels.

Since Christmas of last year, I have been making them almost monthly. 

I will serve them for super as opposed to just a side dish sometimes.

It is a great meal actually and a good way to eat tons of Brussel sprouts. 

HOW TO MAKE BRUSSLE SPROUTS WITH BACON AND BALSAMIC VINEGAR

  1. Start by washing and cutting the bad ends off the Brussel sprouts, then slice the sprouts directly in half and set aside.
  2. On a large cutting board, chop the bacon and add it to a large frying pan sauteing till cooked but not caramelized.
  3. Toss in the brussels sprouts and balsamic vinegar and saute till cooked how you’d like the vegetables.
  4. Lastly, season with salt and pepper.

Note: Be certain to purchase a good quality bacon, you don’t want a ton of fat in it.

However they work very very well as a side dish, think Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner.

Not only are they super delicious their also very filling, because those little brussels are packed full of fiber.

So go ahead and indulge!

They don’t take that long to make either, I like to cook them directly on the stove top this way they pick up all the flavor from the cooked bacon.

Making this a true one pot dish, that anyone can prepare in less than 30 minutes.

Because you will be frying the sprouts in the leftover bacon fat, now don’t frown now.

My bacon gives off about 1 tbsp of fat, it’s that lean.

This step really enhances the flavor of the whole dish, so I recommend you give it try before you knock it.

However you can drain all the fat if desired, just be sure to still saute the brussels in the same pan as the bacon was cooked. I hope you enjoy!

Start by washing the Brussel Sprouts, cut off the rough ends then slice lengthwise and set aside. 

Once the bacon has cooked, but not caramelized add in the Brussel sprouts and seasonings. 

Add in the Red Wine Vinegar last and it’s ready to serve.

I tend to eat these for dinner frequently, however they really should be shared.
