I found the most beautiful package of Brussels sprouts at Costco yesterday and they inspired this recipe.
These were so delicious that I am going to make them again later this week!
And just as you might have guessed, they’re super easy. Hope you like these as much as we do! : )

“I have a number of health issues, and believe that eating a low fat vegan diet is my pathway to wellness. I also am deeply addicted to the SAD diet and find giving up my old ways difficult. I’ve been looking for a someone to coach me in making changes to a healthier lifestyle for years and FINALLY, found my person in Vicki, after trying other programs, retreats, and medical providers. She is very knowledgeable, gentle, kind, and wonderful at helping me identify challenges along with providing support and ways to change. She is a total pleasure to work with and I can’t recommend her enough!!!”
– Martha W.
“After trying unsuccessfully for over a year to go fully vegan / plant-based, I was thoroughly stuck and quite demoralized. Working with Vicki gave me the impetus I needed to get thoroughly unstuck! Now I’m feeling happy and confident in my way of eating, and am very glad to have had Vicki for a coach.”

ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH DATE-SWEETENED BALSAMIC GLAZE
2 pounds Brussels sprouts
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons flavored balsamic vinegar (like fig California Balsamic)
1 1/2 tablespoons date syrup (my favorite brand is Date Lady)
few splashes hot sauce (like Cholula)
kosher salt, to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Prepare the Brussels sprouts by trimming the ends, and rinsing them briefly in cool water. Slice each sprout in halves or quarters, to make them fairly uniform in size.
Place Brussels sprouts in a dry nonstick roasting pan (Scanpan is my favorite).
Roast uncovered for 45 minutes, or just until Brussels sprouts are fork tender.
Remove pan from oven. Pour 1/4 cup (or more) water into the hot pan. Immediately stir the pan to allow the Brussels sprouts to evenly reabsorb a bit of moisture.
Over the Brussels sprouts, drizzle fig balsamic, date syrup, and a few splashes of hot sauce . Combine well. Sprinkle with salt.
Serve immediately.
