Spicy Brussels Sprout Chips Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste for desired spiciness)
- Optional: grated Parmesan cheese for topping
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Prepare Brussels Sprouts: Wash the Brussels sprouts and trim off the tough ends. Remove any yellow outer leaves. Slice the Brussels sprouts thinly using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer. You want them to be about the thickness of a potato chip.
- Toss with Olive Oil and Spices: In a large bowl, toss the sliced Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper until evenly coated.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the Brussels sprout slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overlapping. This will ensure they crisp up evenly.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the Brussels sprout chips are crispy and golden brown. Keep an eye on them as they can burn quickly.
- Optional: Add Parmesan Cheese: If you like, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the chips during the last few minutes of baking for an extra layer of flavor.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the Brussels sprout chips from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them as a healthy snack or appetizer!
Tips:
- Make sure to slice the Brussels sprouts thinly and evenly for consistent cooking.
- Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your preferred level of spiciness.
- Feel free to experiment with other seasonings and spices to create different flavor profiles.
