Brussel sprouts are a great source of omega-3 fatty acids that reduce inflammation.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh brussel sprouts, rinsed

  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 T prepared mustard

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F, and prepare a baking pan with non-stick parchment paper or a silicone mat.
2. Prepare the brussel sprouts by cutting off a sliver of the discolored part of the stem end, and cut about a ¼ inch deep X in the stem with a knife to allow them to cook more quickly.
3. Add the prepared brussel sprouts to a large bowl. Add the vinegar, and toss the brussel sprouts to coat them with the vinegar. Then stir in the mustard to coat the brussel sprouts.
4. Put the coated brussel sprouts onto the prepared baking pan. Bake for 15 minutes, turn, bake for 10 to 15 minutes more, to your desired doneness.
5. Serve warm.
