Who doesn’t love to sit back and relax while enjoying a big plate of cheesy nachos? I know I do but regret quickly follows that joyful feeling. That’s why I love grilling Brussels sprouts and making a healthy take on traditional nachos. I know it might not sound like the ideal substitution but when you create a bed of grilled Brussels sprouts, red onions, and top with salsa, jalapeños, a homemade queso sauce, and carne asada I guarantee you’ll become a believer.
I love using my Bull Dual Grilling Grid & Plank Saver for cooking vegetables.
Chef Anthony Fun Fact – Spelled Brussels sprouts not brussel sprouts, actually got their name from Brussels, Belgium and they are part of the cabbage family.
Although Brussels sprouts don’t seem like the obviously choice for building a nacho platter, after grilling them on a Bull Grill they develop a wonderful flavor that lends nicely to any nacho dish!
