🌿🥦 Keto Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Garlic Herb Breadcrumbs 🥦🌿
Fall vibes hitting you yet? Or are you still basking in the pre-fall glow?
Chillin' here, typing away while the classic Washington fall gray does its thing outside my window. These days are our jam—cloudy, cozy, and oh-so-familiar.
Weather's got a whole quick-change artist routine going on. From blazing 80s to crisp 60s (sometimes even 50s), it's like a magic trick. One minute, flip-flops are the move; the next, I'm digging for my trusty Ugg boots. How those flip-flop lovers brave the chill, I'll never know. Cold toes? Nah, I'm all about the snug life.
Funny how these days went from 'meh' to 'hey, not bad!' Back in 2006, I was all about that So Cal life—the sun, the sand, that laid-back vibe. Endless gray felt like an unwanted guest, dimming everything. By winter's peak, I was plotting my escape.
But with the years came a shift. I began to find comfort in these moments. Lighting that first fire of the season? Total cozy vibes. Raindrops putting on a show as they groove through the trees? Instant chill-pill. And mmm, wrapping my hands around a cup of cider and stirring up hearty soups in the kitchen? Bliss!
Who'd have thought? Back in '07, if you told me I'd be digging the gray days, I'd have been like, "Say what now?"
But enough about that, let's dig into the real deal:
Brussels sprouts and I? Once sworn enemies. The aroma of 'em cooking? No thank you, next. Those little green orbs, just staring up from the plate? Challenge accepted.
For years, I played dodgeball with 'em, even as I hopped on the health train. Then, plot twist: my fam was all about those Brussels Sprouts. Who knew?
Casual convo about a Brussels sprouts recipe sparked a whole debate. That's where the fun begins.
After some hemming and hawing, I enlisted bacon for backup on my first attempt. Now? I'm the prez of the Brussels sprouts fan club, with bacon as the loyal sidekick.
This recipe? Could just be the crowning moment of my Brussels sprouts journey—no extra fuss, and bacon's taking a breather! Even my kid wanted those leftovers. Victory!
So here I am, embracing the gray drizzle, slipping into my Ugg boots, and devouring Brussels sprouts like they're going out of style. Cheers to the green life! Oh, and guess what? This nom-tastic dish is keto-approved, perfect for those flavor-craving healthy warriors out there. And wait, there's more! A gluten-free twist is tucked right in the recipe, just waiting for you to dive in. Keep rockin', foodies! 😘🌿🥦

Substitutions
- Keto Breadcrumbs - You can use ground pork rinds for a gluten-free version or regular panko if you are not keto.
- Fresh Thyme - Feel free to use whatever fresh herbs you enjoy.
- Olive Oil - Avocado oil is another good oil to use in this recipe.
📖Variations
- Bacon Bliss: While roasting your Brussels sprouts, add crispy bacon bits to the baking sheet.

🍽Equipment
This is the equipment you will need to make Keto Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Garlic and Herb Breadcrumbs.
Storage
To store leftover Keto Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Garlic Herb Breadcrumbs, follow these steps:
- Cool Down: Allow the cooked Brussels sprouts to cool down to room temperature before storing them.
- Separate: If you added any extra toppings or variations, remove any larger bits like bacon or cheese to ensure they stay crispy and maintain their texture.
- Airtight Container: Place the leftover Brussels sprouts in an airtight container. You can use a plastic container or a resealable plastic bag.
- Refrigerate: Store the container in the refrigerator. Properly stored, the leftover Brussels sprouts should last for about 3 to 4 days.
- Reheat: When you're ready to enjoy the leftovers, you can reheat them. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and spread the Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet. Reheat for about 10-15 minutes until they are warmed through. If you used bacon or cheese, you might want to add those back on top after reheating for extra flavor and texture.
Remember that reheated leftovers might not be as crispy as when freshly made, but they should still be delicious!
💭Top tip
For an elevated flavor twist, consider using brown butter instead of regular melted butter in the herbed breadcrumbs. The nutty aroma and rich taste of brown butter will infuse your breadcrumbs with an irresistible depth of flavor. Simply melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat, swirling occasionally, until it turns golden brown and releases a fragrant scent. Let it cool slightly before mixing it with the garlic and breadcrumbs.
FAQ about Keto Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Garlic and Herb Breadcrumbs
I usually swap frozen when I can but this recipe requires the sprouts to be cut in half so you would have to wait for the Brussels sprouts to thaw to cut them and then they don't really crisp up like fresh.
Definitely! Swap out the regular breadcrumbs for gluten-free breadcrumbs or even crushed pork rinds. You'll still get that satisfying crunch without the gluten.
Yes, Brussels sprouts are a fantastic low-carb vegetable choice, making them a perfect fit for a keto lifestyle. They're rich in fiber and essential nutrients while being lower in carbs compared to other starchy veggies.
