People love to hate on Brussels sprouts.
Green and usually steamed, these healthy veggies are a common reminder of “finish your plate” battles between parents and kids.
But these green things are healthy, offering in one serving 125 percent of one’s vitamin C daily needs and 195 percent of the vitamin K daily amount.
But how can you get kids to eat these if most adults won’t eat them willingly?
One word: pizza.
Yes, some pizza crust, tomatoes and cheese are a delicious vehicle for delivering Brussels sprouts. Especially when those sprouts are shredded and seasoned with lemon and parmesan.
In this recipe, I make the whole process easier by offering it as a one-ingredient cooking dish. That means you can make a complex meal easy by buying some ready-to-cook items and then cooking one thing from scratch.
If you have a baby taking a longer nap than normal, feel free to really go for it and make the pizza dough from scratch (I’ll post on that later) or make your own tomato sauce.
I’m not going to guarantee that your child will suddenly beg for Brussels sprouts at every meal. But, my little Jack enjoyed every bite of his sprouts (and pizza).
