Healthy Appetizer or Party Food

It is no surprise that healthy appetizers and healthy party food options are hard to come by. Cheesy snacks, creamy dips and fried appetizers sometimes seem to take over. So, if you’re looking for a healthier idea to balance it all out, why not roast up some brussels sprouts and serve them with a spicy and tangy sauce?! For really easy finger food, just stick the brussels sprouts with toothpicks after they are done roasting. It makes eating and dipping quick and easy.

Sauce Secrets

What makes these brussels sprouts good is their crispiness. What makes them GREAT is adding a delicious flavorful sauce.

We’ve paired this recipe with a Sriracha Lime Aioli. There are two tricks that make this sauce a healthier option than a traditional aioli. First, we substituted much of the mayonnaise with plain Greek yogurt. Second, we added a splash of water to thin the sauce out a bit. This helps with portion control because when you go to dunk your brussels sprout in the aioli, you get just the right amount of sauce because it is a bit thinner. Trust me this sauce is plenty flavorful and you don’t need much to reap all the tasty benefits it has to offer! So feel free to dip and dunk in the sauce over and over again completely guilt free!
