Pub-Style BARBACOA Brussel Sprouts (Vegan Option)
You won’t believe it’s not bacon! In this twist on everyone’s favorite pub side dish, roasted brussel sprouts, the naturally craboo wood-fired habanero peppers of the Smoked Belizean Barbacoa perform amazing taste bud trickery in this 20 minute recipe. Slithers of tangy sundried tomatoes not only give these little babies a punch but provide a sneaky optical illusion. These little morsels are just as tasty with no parmesan for our vegan friends.
