Brussel Chips?!!!?!

Yes, you heard right.

I started off with six small or large brussel sprouts.  Feel free to double this recipe if you’re looking for a meal consisting of brussel sprouts alone.  To each her own?!! (They are that good!)

Chopped off ends, separated leaves and ended up with a huge ass pile of future said, chips.

Covered with 1 T maple syrup (you could substitute honey, or oil, or even less syrup- a little goes a long way!) and freshly ground pepper.  I used a lot of pepper because I like the kick of the chunks of peppercorn that explode in my mouth. Yes, I just said that.

Lightly massaged.

Roasted for 10-13 minutes at 375 degrees. I had it at 420, and it was a little too hot.  Experiment with your oven! (Or dehydrator.)

And no, in case you were concerned..  that is NOT a hair on the plate- rather, it is the maple syrup that heated in the oven.  A la caramel sauce.

Regardless I ended with a pile of crunchy and crispy, sweet and spicy brussel sprout chips.  That tasted delightful.

Move over kale chips!  Not only do brussel chips require less handywork, less prep time, less stank in the kitchen, and probably won’t offend non-blogger friends like kale chips, they taste sooo good too! Enjoy!

XOXO,

*** I have yet to see these around the blogosphere so please let me know if I’ve failed yet again at coming up with a cool, original idea if this has already been done before.
