Spicy Sriracha Brussels Sprouts & Avocado with Lime-Scented Quinoa
- 1 cup Quinoa, Uncooked
- 2 cups Broth (veggie, Chicken Or Water)
- 1 teaspoon Lime Zest
- 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
- 1/4 cups Shallot, Chopped
- 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1/4 teaspoons Lime Salt (or 1/4 Teaspoon Lime Zest And 1/4 Teaspoon Salt)
- 1/4 teaspoons Pepper
- 2 teaspoons Sriracha, Plus More For Garnish, To Taste
- 20 whole Brussels Sprouts
- 1 Tablespoon Fresh Lime Juice (for 1 Tablespoon You'll Need About 1/2 A Lime)
- 1 whole Avocado, Peeled, Pitted, And Diced
- 1/4 cups Monterey Jack Cheese, Shredded
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
- Make the quinoa: In a saucepan, add 1 cup of quinoa to 2 cups of chicken broth (or water/veggie broth) and bring to a rolling boil.
- Lower heat to a simmer, cover the pan and cook until there is no more liquid, 15-18 minutes.
- In the last few minutes add 1 teaspoon of lime zest and mix well.
- Then cover the pan until finished cooking.
- Remove from heat, and keep covered until you are ready to eat.
- For the Brussels sprouts:
- Mix the garlic, shallot, olive oil, lime salt, pepper, Sriracha and Brussels sprouts together.
- Spread them out on a foil-lined baking sheet, squeeze the lime juice over top, and bake in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes, mixing halfway through (add a drizzle more olive oil if they look dry).
- Remove from the oven and turn the oven to broil.
- Add the diced avocado and Monterey jack cheese over the top and return to the oven to cook for another 2 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
- *You can also, just broil the Brussels sprouts with the cheese and add the avocado afterwards, whatever you prefer (warmer avo or cooler avo!)
- Pile a few spoonfuls of Lime-Scented Quinoa onto your plate along with a heaping helping of Spicy Sriracha Brussels Sprouts and enjoy!
