Chef: Shane Martin, Shane and Simple
Makes: 4 Servings
Prep Time: 15 min
Cook Time: 20 min
Total Time: 35 min
INGREDIENTS
1 lb Brussels sprouts
2 T Dijon mustard
1 ½ T maple syrup
¼ t garlic powder
1 T Bragg’s Liquid Aminos or low-sodium vegetable broth
1/4 c raw cashews (optional, PS only)
DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Trim off the ends of the Brussels sprouts, sliced in half length-wise, and place in a small mixing bowl.
Prepare the marinade by adding the mustard, maple syrup, garlic powder, and Bragg’s to a small bowl. Whisk until everything is well combined. Taste and adjust any flavors as you desire.
Pour the sauce over the Brussels sprouts and gently stir/toss to coat. Place the Brussels sprouts in the refrigerator and let them rest in the marinade for 5-10 min.
Lay the Brussels sprouts cut side down on the baking sheet and bake for 15 min. When there are 5 min left for the sprouts to cook, preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and prepare another batch of the marinade.
Add the Brussels sprouts and cashews to the pan, drizzle with some of the marinade, and gently stir with a spoon to toss. Cook for 3-4 min or until the marinade caramelizes.
Serve immediately. Cover and store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
In January of 2013, two weeks before his 40th birthday, Shane was topping the scales at 300 lbs., dealing with Type 2 diabetes, had a fatty liver, high blood pressure, and his cholesterol was over 400! Depressed, sick, and at the end of his rope, a friend recommended he watch the documentary Forks Over Knives. The next day he went all-in on a plant-based diet and in 3 months dropped 55 lbs., was no longer diabetic, his blood pressure was normal, and his cholesterol dropped over 200 points. To date, Shane has lost over 100 lbs. and is super passionate about helping people when it comes to cooking, eating, and health. Shane likes to tell people, "If this Mississippi-meat-cheese-and-mayonaisse-eating-boy can do it, ANYONE can!" Shane shares healthy vegan recipes that are practical, affordable, that anyone can make and love! Visit Shane’s amazing site at Shane and Simple, Facebook, Pinterest & Instagram.
