I bought a large bag of them at Costco for a pretty decent price. (Not recommended if this is your first attempt with them because if you don't like the flavor..then you'll be stuck with a big bag of vegetables you don't enjoy!)
Here's how I did it:
Washed them in a mixture of Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar and water (~1:5 ratio). Let them soak in it for a couple of minutes then toss in a strainer and rinse with clean water.
-Preheat your oven to 400 degrees
-Chop the sprouts in half & put in a bowl with a lid
-drizzle a bit of organic olive oil over them and crack some salt and black pepper over them
-put the lid on the bowl and shake it up for about 30 seconds or until evenly coated
-line baking sheet with parchment paper and place sprouts on the sheet
-bake at 400 for 16 minutes total. Halfway through the cooking time, be sure to stir them up or flip them so they're all evenly roasted!
Enjoy as many as you can fit into your stomach. These are high in protein and vitamin C!
Hi
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I have been reading up on the paleo lifestyle and it is interesting, we already doing a lot of the things stated. However according to paleo we need to eliminate grains from the diet. We currently have substituted all white rice, white bread, pasta etc for wholemeal. So to go to the next step and eliminate the grains what would we substitute the bread, pasts, rice etc with?
Breakfast we tend to have muesli or granola with blueberries, as the paleo allows no grains you mentioned in one of your blogs you mentioned for breakfast you guys have eggs? Do you have any other options/ideas you may have besides eggs?
You also mentioned in one of your blogs that for snacks you have a hemp seed protein shake? Would you kindly provide a recipe? So that we may try this. Often between meals I get really hungry and sometimes the fruits, nuts, etc don't really take away my hunger, is there anything else I could try to keep me full?
On one of your blogs you also mentioned you use nut butter I think, do you make your own and a recipe would be helpful.
Surprisingly I jus bought your alternative to soya sauce, it's an American product which I happen to find in my local supermarket.
I do appologise for the bombardment. I an Asian and really comfortable cooking Asian food such as curries, as this is my comfort zone. However now I'm learning to cook all the non Asian dishes, and I'm struggling to get creative or come up with new ways or ideas to make vegetable dishes or salads.
Many thanks,
Zaheda
Thanks for all the great questions Zaheda. I'll do my best to answer them as best As I can. As far as eliminating grains, it sounds like you're making good progress. Of course continue switching to whole grain options but more importantly consider replacing one grain at a time with a better alternative. For example: sweet potatoes are are great substitute for a carbohydrate fix! They're delicious. Try my sweet potato chip recipe ;) and there are plenty of ways to eat your favorite meals "grain-free." Search online for some good ones or feel free to request some recipes I'd be happy to try some for my follower
Delete(Continued): yes, I have made my own almond butter before and it turned out deliciously! I'll post a recipe soon ;)
