Brussels sprouts are a huge favorite here at Nutritious Life. This recipe by chef Ashley Rouse is a combination of sweet and spicy that will most certainly make you want seconds or even thirds. Rouse was inspired by a dish at one of her favorite restaurants, No. 7 in Brooklyn, and could’t wait to make her own version for all to try…and we thank her for that!

Rouse launched Trade Street Jam Co., a minority & woman-certified small batch jam company that creates fruit forward and clean tasting vegan jams and delicious recipes like this one.
