10 Best Vegan Brussels Sprout Recipes For Your Kids

Health Benefits Of Brussels Sprouts
The health advantages of Brussels sprouts, from radiant skin to enhanced digestive health, make this veggie worthwhile to consume.
1. Reduce Heart Disease
This traditional autumnal side dish is so much more than a justification for consuming additional bacon. Brussels sprouts are a great source of vitamin C and other beneficial nutrients.
A diet high in vitamin C from fruits and vegetables has been associated with a lower risk of chronic cardiovascular disease.
2. Pack Antioxidants
Antioxidants support healthier cells and lower cancer risk and are abundant in Brussels sprouts. For a quick and delectable weekday side meal, try cutting fresh Brussels sprouts for a salad or roasting them with garlic and a savoury mustard sauce.
3. Provide Plant-Based Protein
One cup of Brussels sprouts contains four grams of wholesome, plant-based protein. If you follow a vegan or vegetarian diet and require more natural protein sources in your diet, this is extremely useful. Toss in some unique tastes, like pomegranate and hazelnut, when roasting Brussels sprouts in avocado oil.
4. Improve Bones Health
Vitamin K, abundant in Brussels sprouts, may strengthen your bones and help you stay healthy. According to a 2017 study, daily consumption of a diet high in vitamin K was linked to a lower incidence of fractures.
These scrumptious Brussels sprouts au gratin will give your bones a dose of calcium and vitamin K. Your taste buds will also appreciate it!
5. Improve Gut Health
These delightful tiny vegetables are stuffed with fiber, which has numerous benefits for your intestinal health.
A diet high in fiber is crucial for a healthy gut and body, helping to prevent constipation and reduce your risk of colon cancer.

10. Vegan Brussels Sprouts Gratins
Prep time: 10 mins | Cook time: 25 mins | Total time: 35 minutes | Servings: 8
Ingredients
- Brussels sprouts: (20–22 small to medium heads)
- Diamond crystal salt: 1 tablespoon plus 1½ teaspoons or
- Morton kosher salt: 2½ teaspoons
- Coconut milk: 1- 13.5 oz can
- Avocado oil
- Freshly ground black pepper: 1 teaspoon
- Nutmeg: 1 teaspoon
- Dry breadcrumbs: 1½ cups
Method
- Set the oven to 350°F. In a medium saucepan, heat 4 cups of water until it boils.
- Meanwhile, cut each Brussels sprout head into quarters through the stem end using a chef's knife to remove the stems.
- Add 1 tablespoon of Diamond Crystal salt or 1¾ teaspoons of Morton Kosher salt to boiling water before adding the Brussels sprouts and cooking for 4 minutes.
- In a colander, rinse Brussels sprouts for 30 seconds with the coldest tap water you can find. (The Brussels sprouts don't need to be completely cooled because they will be baked; cold tap water works just as well as an ice water bath here.)
- Brussel sprouts should be spread out onto a kitchen towel to drain. In a baking dish just big enough to hold Brussels sprouts, combine the lemon zest, coconut milk, oil, pepper, nutmeg, and remaining 1½ teaspoons of Diamond Crystal salt or ¾ teaspoons of Morton kosher salt.
- Brussels sprouts should be added to the baking dish and gently coated. Sprinkle breadcrumbs on top, then bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and the coconut milk slightly thickens. Ten minutes should pass before serving.
Conclusion
For children under four, raw vegetable chunks, like Brussels sprouts, are one of the top choking hazards.
