Gluten Free Dairy Free Creamy Brussel Sprouts Recipe

Dairy Free “Creamy” Baked Brussels Sprouts Recipe

The world of Brussels sprouts seems to be divided into two firm camps – lovers and haters. I have yet to meet anyone on the fence when it comes to the lowly Brussels sprout!

By all rights I should have been a hater. In fact, I was practically raised to be a hater. My father, a military man, had been stationed on Greenland for a couple of years and the only green vegetable they were ever served was Brussels sprouts; thus Brussels sprouts were forbidden in our home.

But, as is often the case, the forbidden holds allure. Tell a kid he or she is forbidden from smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol and you just may find him or her behind the garage sneaking a smoke and a beer.

The first Brussels sprout I ever ate was at a friend’s house. I warily took the tiniest bite, then another and another. Despite my upbringing, I discovered I was a lover!

Such was not the case with my husband – he was firmly in the hater camp, just another thing he and my father bonded over. I have tried sneaking them into stews, thinly slicing raw ones into salads and smothering them with cheese, only to encounter his staunch refusal to eat them. Until recently, that is.

I created this recipe based on a family favorite of ours, artichoke dip. That recipe calls for Parmesan cheese and mayonnaise as well as some onions and garlic. I ditched the cheese, swapped out the mayo for a much heart healthier choice of Vegenaise and added a little balsamic for good measure and to bring out the sweetness of the Brussels sprouts. I am happy to say that the camp of Brussels sprout lovers now has a new member!

This will make a terrific side dish for your Thanksgiving table, especially if you have any vegans coming for dinner.

Ingredients

  • pounds Brussels sprouts (about 25)

  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher or fine sea salt

    If only I had checked my blogroll 10 minutes earlier this would have been perfect for tonight! I am sure my roasted brussels will be good, but I am definitely going to have make this next week. Looks delish!

    I will definitely have to give this recipe a try. I don't think I've ever tried brussel sprouts. But I'm married to a hater. When he was 3, my husband managed to hide the remains of a sprout in his mouth, through teeth brushing and all, and when his dad woke him the next morning, there the sprout was, lodged in the side of his cheek. So gross! Hopefully I can get him past that experience with a delicious, creamy recipe!

    YUM! Will ahve to try this out when they're next at the farmer's markets. We normally saute them with a little butter, bacon and season with salt and pepper!

    So if I wanted to make this non- gluten free, I can just use regular mayonnaise?

    1. November 9, 2011

      If you used regular mayonnaise, it would just make the recipe not vegan. If you want to make it non-gluten free, then you’d just use regular bread crumbs, not gluten-free ones.

    We are a divided camp in my household here. My hubby and oldest son cannot stand them. While myself and my youngest guy love them (although, my youngest would literally eat anything so maybe he is not a good example). But I think making them this way would possibly sway my haters over here. I have never seen them made this way and I think they look completely amazing!

    brussel sprouts were my favourite veggie when I was little. Now I still like them, but there are so many wonderful vegetables to choose from, I don't know my which I like best.
