Brilliant Sesame Maple Brussel Sprouts

We can’t all be brilliant when it comes to math and rocket science and knowing how to assemble an IKEA dresser. However, we can work on our own, inner shine. This recipe gets all glistening with the maple syrup. Since it’s a heart chakra food, imagine that your heart center is emanating shiny, juicy energy.

Ingredients:

  • Brussel sprouts (optional to add cauliflower)

  • 1 Tbsp. sunflower oil

  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil

  • 1-2 Tbsps maple syrup

  • Sesame seeds

  • Kiwi Sliced

  • Potatoes (brushed with avocado oil and salt)

  • Fresh rosemary

  • Instructions:

    • Preheat oven to 425-450 (depends on your oven)

    • Brush on the oil (without the maple syrup)

    • Bake for 20-25 minute, flip

    • Brush on the maple syrup

    • Sprinkle on sesame seeds

    • Bake until it’s all browned

    • Slice up the kiwi and serve together

    • This sweet dish needs a little savory counter point, so I like to serve this with roasted rosemary potatoes (bake potatoes at the same time, brush on different oil that’s infused with spices like oregano, marjoram, pepper, and salt). Add fresh rosemary at the end.

    • Optional: swap out the roasted potatoes for a savory grain or quinoa
