We didn’t eat Brussels sprouts growing up, but after moving back to the East Coast they quickly became one of my favorite seasonal vegetables. I typically roast them in the oven which makes the outside crispy and brown, while the inside stays nice and tender.
This time, I cooked the Brussels sprouts with tempeh (a soy product made from whole soybeans) and added a few cloves of garlic. Tempeh is a good source of protein and fiber and can be prepared in many ways. You can find it at most health food stores or grocery stores like Whole Foods. I used a three grain variety but any type of tempeh would work just as fine. If you don’t have tempeh, you can easily use potatoes as a substitute.
Recipe below…
Wash, then cut Brussels sprouts in half and tempeh into cubes.
Evenly toss all ingredients together and bake for about 30 minutes.

Brussels sprouts are one of my favourites too – but I’d never tried roasting them before and I’ve been looking for a way to use up some tempeh I have in my freezer. I’ll definitely be trying this. Thank you for posting this!
Great, thanks for the comment! How do you typically prepare your Brussels sprouts?
I usually shred them and saute them in a pan with a bit of oil. I used to be rather picky about veggies and got stuck making them this way.
That sounds really good, maybe I’ll try that next time. Thanks for sharing!
