Instructions

 

• Rinse and chop the produce accordingly. Line 1 baking tray and preheat your oven to 425 ̊F.
• Roast the Brussels Sprouts. Toss the sprouts in salt, pepper, and extra virgin olive oil. Then, place them on the baking tray. Roast for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway.
• Set a pot to medium heat. Once hot, add the celery, carrots, onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Sauté until the onions are translucent, 7-8 minutes. Then, add the beans and cook until warmed through, 1-2 minutes.
• Sauté the potatoes. Set a skillet to medium heat. Once hot, add extra virgin olive oil. Then, add the potatoes. Cook for 6-7 minutes, until browned, and season to taste. Then, remove from heat and set aside for later.
• To the pot, add vegetable stock. Bring to a boil, then add the corn, potatoes, cauliflower, and spices. Stir to combine, and then cover and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender. Then, add the coconut cream, and adjust seasonings to taste.
• Plate the chowder, then top with the roasted Brussels sprouts and your desired garnishes. Enjoy!
