Sweet Orange Glazed Brussels Sprout Flatbread

Greenletes / Recipes / Sweet Orange Glazed Brussels Sprout Flatbread

This Vegetarian Brussels Sprout Flatbread has sweet and tangy orange glaze that makes it taste amazing! This is how you’ll get everyone in your family to eat their Brussels Sprouts! 

I have to admit that I’m not the best meal planner (check out these amazing meal prepping skills). I usually buy a bunch of ingredients and hope that I’ll magically create an interesting meal. This works out most of the time, but sometimes I end up looking in my fridge to find only Brussels sprouts and oranges.

Rather than letting the food go to waste, I try to utilize these ingredients for a fun and different meal option. On a side note, about one-third of all food produced worldwide (worth around $1 trillion USD) gets lost in food production or is wasted. I try to do my part, whenever possible, to minimize food waste, and you should too! Okay, let me step down from my soap box and get back to the recipe… Rather, than letting the weird Brussels sprout and orange combo go to waste, I decided to combine the bitterness of the Brussels sprouts with the sweet and tanginess of an orange to create a Sweet Orange Glazed Brussels Sprout Flatbread. Not to toot my own horn, but this is one of my best recipes to date!

And I love Brussels sprouts because they are loaded with fiber, one cup of Brussels sprouts has more than 100% the daily value of Vitamin C, and they’ve even got some protein– a rarity for a vegetable!

    Nothing wrong with tooting your own horn, especially if it’s about these yummy sprout flatbreads! I’m terrible with meal planning too, but I’m working on it. Most nights I just pull random things out of my fridge and try to make the tastiest and most nutritional meal possible!

      I do the same thing! But it works out most of the time. I want to be better about it, but I’m happy just throwing anything together rather than getting take out!
