VEGAN GARLIC PARMESAN ROASTED BRUSSEL SPROUTS
For the best results, opt for organic Brussels sprouts and make sure to thoroughly wash them before cooking. Remove any outer layers that may look undesirable. This delightful vegan recipe features tempeh bacon, adding a smoky flavor that complements the Brussels sprouts perfectly. Using fresh garlic enhances the overall taste, so be sure to include it in your preparation.

- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
