Living With Sjögren’s

Ingredients:

• 1 lb brussels sprouts 
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 
• 2 tbsp lemon juice 
• 2 tbsp nutritional yeast 
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 425˚ F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Chop and discard the hard ends of the brussels sprouts. Slice the brussels sprouts in half and set aside.  
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice and 1 tbsp of nutritional yeast. Add salt and pepper to taste. 
4. Add the sliced brussels sprouts to the bowl and mix until evenly coated.
5. Transfer the brussels sprouts to the sheet pan and distribute evenly.  Sprinkle the remaining 1 tbsp of nutritional yeast on top.
6. Bake for 20 minutes, turning brussels sprouts over halfway through to ensure an even bake.
7. Sprinkle with additional salt and pepper if desired.

Extra Tips:

• If you do not have lemon juice, try using balsamic vinegar.
• Instead of nutritional yeast, choose grated parmesan cheese. 
• After baking, sprinkle hemp seeds on top for additional protein and omega-3 fatty acids. 
• Try a different dressing: use sesame seed oil, balsamic vinegar, honey and soy sauce for an Asian-inspired dressing.
