Add to favorites
Plan Z Phase: This is a Z3 (ZReboot) recipe.
Servings: Serves 2
Ingredients:
- 15 Brussels sprouts trimmed and peeled. Just trim off the bottom of the stem and peel off a top later of leaves so you have clean Brussels sprouts ready to roast.
- 1 tsp of minced garlic
- 2 Tbl olive oil
- sea salt to taste
- 15 pepperoni rounds (1” size) cut into chunky bits. Or you can use bacon. Or pork belly. Just cut it kind of thick so it doesn’t burn – think Chiclets size – if you remember those.
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In an oven proof pan, put in the Brussels sprouts, garlic and olive oil. Toss to coat the Brussels sprouts in oil and garlic. Grate some sea salt over the top and sprinkle on the pepperoni bits.
Roast in your oven for 30 minutes until nicely browned.
Enjoy!
Cheers,
Roasted Prime Rib
When I was a kid this was served at very special meals. My mother made hers plain. I had no idea how incredibly fabulous this meat could taste until I started adding the meat rub!
Zola-fied Berghoff Spinach
The Berghoff is a famous Chicago restaurant. Their creamed spinach is an institution in itself. This is my ZReduction version.

Cranberry Royale (EASY)
This is a takeoff of a cranberry bake recipe from Southern Living. This is homey, tasty, and not too sweet. Just a little cranberry twang but plenty of sweetness in the apples.

This is a combination of a few recipes I found. Love the fact that these are low carb and tasty!
