This Scrounge could not have come at a better time, it's the perfect side dish for Thanksgiving! I created this concoction the other night when I needed something quick for dinner and had some veggies at home that I needed to use up.
The flavor pairings in this turned out to be so delicious! It's super easy to make and doesn't take much time at all, so if you're scrambling to figure out what to make for Thanksgiving, I've got you covered! Or if you just need a quick and easy dinner this is a great go to. You may be wondering if this is filling enough to be a dinner on it's own, but trust me it's more filling than you think! If you want to add some protein on the side or mixed into the bowl, go for it, I'm sure it would be just as delicious. Even a fried egg on top would be super tasty :)
The Scrounge:
If you don't have these exact ingredients, Scrounge with the things you have at home! You may end up creating something even better!
If you don't have turmeric, try cayenne pepper, rosemary or do without
If you don't have sweet potatoes, use yams or carrots
If you don't have brussel sprouts, try broccoli or green beans

2 c. Brussels Sprouts
1 Sweet Potato
1/2 c. crumbled Goat Cheese

2 tbsp cracked pepper
2 tbsp turmeric (optional)
Preparation:
Preheat oven 400º
Slice the brussels sprouts into halves and thinly slice sweet potatoes into rounds
