Crispy Cheesy Brussels

Life is too short for fake butter, cheese or people. 

If you like cheese, then you're looking at the right recipe.  This recipe is not only simple but is full of delicious flavor.  The brussel sprouts roast perfectly coated with a light layer of avocado oil mayo and finely grated cheese.  I used Asiago cheese in the recipe, but feel free to experiment with your favorite fresh cheeses.  Adding a bit of red pepper flakes brings a nice kick of spiciness to this healthy green vegetable too.  This dish makes for a fantastic side or appetizer for friends and family.  It was a hit when paired with my plate of scrambled eggs for brinner one night, yum!
 
Alrighty, who's ready to get cheesy?!
