While I may not be a vegetarian or vegan, I definitely appreciate the health benefits of a plant-based diet. There are so many nutrients that can be found in fruits, vegetables, legumes, and such. There are many mouth watering recipes in this cookbook from the simple to the more complex. There is a variety of cooking methods from no cooking to pressure cookers. There are appetizers, sides, main dishes, soups, salad dressings, and so much more. For anyone wanting to move towards a more plant based diet, this book will give you a great place to start.

The recipes seem easy to prepare and I might consider this a great introductory vegan cookbook for the novice home chef.

My sister who is a vegetarian is eyeing this cookbook and I need to keep an eye on it otherwise I think she will run off with it before I have a chance to try more dishes!

I wanted to share a recipe with you that is a twist on how I make Brussels Sprouts. I am always looking for a way to get more vegetables into my family and sometimes you just find a recipe that works and they scarf up something they wouldn’t have eaten before.

Maple Glazed Brussels Sprouts

3 cups Brussels sprouts

1 T tamari

1 T maple syrup

1/4 tsp smoked paprika

1/4 tsp pink Himalayan salt

Line the basket of an air fryer with parchment paper. Wash, trim, and cut the Brussels sprouts in half. Whisk the tamari, maple syrup, smoked paprika, and salt together in a bowl. Once combined, add the Brussels sprouts. toss until evenly coated then transfer to the air fryer.

Bake at 400° for 17 to 20 minutes, removing the basket to shake the sprouts every 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

Oven option: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat, spread the Brussel sprouts across, and bake on the top rack of the oven at 425° for 30 to 35 minutes.
