Cruciferous vegetables have compounds called glucosinolates which separate them from other vegetables. These compounds kill carcinogens before they can damage our DNA, and prevent healthy cells from turning into cancerous cells. They protect against lung, breast, and prostate cancer.
Simple Summer Roasted Brussel Sprouts:
Preheat 400 degrees
Chop off ends and if they aren't small enough you can cut them in half
Take off loose leafs from cutting :)
Put the sprouts in the bottom of a 9X13 pan and use 3 TBS olive oil for a solid layer of sprouts
Add a dash of salt, pepper, 3 cloves of minced garlic, mix all up together (toss sprouts)
Add 1/2 cup water
Bake for 20 minutes @ 400 degrees
Pull the sprouts out and flip them all over (toss them)
Bake for another 20 minutes
YUMMY!
