Spicy Breadcrumb Brussels Sprouts

These Spicy Breadcrumb Brussels Sprouts are the most delicious vegan side dish! Tossed in homemade breadcrumbs with a little kick to them.

OH MY GAAAHHHH! It’s mcjordO’s favorite week of the year guys. Or shall I say – his new favorite week of the year. Because it’s #rachLthanksgivingweek baby!!!!

All week we will be sharing different Thanksgiving recipes to make and really recipes that you can make all year long. These are fun ways to switch up the usual sides and we are obviously sharing a delicious dessert that I am *so* excited about!!

Let’s start with these brussels sprouts though.

They are the ultimate side dish. They have a crisp and flavor like you have never had before. A little kick to them, which you can totally cut down if you prefer and they are super easy to make. I love that these are also an easy side for anyone who is vegan or someone dairy-free. I know that can sometimes be complicated when it comes to serving holiday dishes and with these you’ll be golden.

Check back here all week long for more Thanksgiving inspo!! And on Instagram, we’ll share even more classics from the blog.

What ingredients you need to make these crispy breadcrumb brussels sprouts:

• Brussels sprouts, washed and halved
• Bread (I love using sourdough bread)
• Red pepper flakes
• Garlic powder
• Onion powder
• Sea salt and black pepper to taste
• Chili oil (depending on spice tolerance)
• Olive oil or avocado oil

How to make the best brussels sprouts dish:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and add the bread to a baking sheet and toast in oven for about 10 minutes on each side or until it’s firmer/toasted through
2. While the breadcrumbs cook, toss the brussels sprouts in oil and sea salt and pepper and add to a large baking sheet and cook in oven for about 40 minutes, flipping over the sprouts half way through
3. Remove bread from oven once toasted and add to food processor and pulse a few times until broken up more
4. Add in the spices and pulse again
5. Warm a skillet with the oils and add the breadcrumbs on top and toast over medium/high heat for about 5-8 minutes, mixing around the skillet often to toast on all sides
6. Remove breadcrumbs from heat and toss in with cooked brussels sprouts
7. Enjoy while warm with desired main dish/any other sides!
