These Brussels sprout chips are totally addictive, you and your family will love them.

The cheesy taste comes from the nutritional yeast. Nutritional yeast, also called “nooch” is a fabulous vegan replacement for parmesan cheese. Nutritional yeast is an inactive yeast and has been known to increase a person’s energy and support their immune system. It is the only plant source for vitamin B-12 which helps to boost energy. Which is very helpful for vegetarians and vegans. Adults need about 2.4 mcg of vitamin B-12 per day and just 1/4 cup of nutritional yeast provides more than seven times this amount, so go for it!

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and usually gluten-free. It is also low in fat and contains no sugar or soy.

Of course, Brussels Sprouts are an incredibly nutritious vegetable. Here is what Dr Jodi says about them…

“They are rich in antioxidants, phytonutrients, vitamins C, A, and E, and alkalizing minerals such as calcium, copper, iron, and manganese. They are also a good source of omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin K which are essential for proper brain and nerve function and are vital for aiding cognitive issues. They are a great addition to anyone suffering from ADD, ADHD, and focus issues. This is a very creative way to get them into your kiddies!”

Bottom line, make a lot of these, they are delicious! If you double the recipe, use two cookie sheets and cook at 375˚F convection. You can also make a double or triple batch of the dry “nooch” mixture and use it when you need it. It is delicious on kale chips as well.
