Crispiness galore: the perfect vegan Brussels sprouts recipe to show off at Thanksgiving

We all want to help Mother Nature in every way we can, whether it be the things we do or the things we eat. Any small act can make a world of difference in terms of the larger outcome. One of the most helpful, and argurably delicious ways we can help is through food.

Switching to a plant-based lifestyle, even if only a couple of times a week, can have huge benefits on our wallets, planet and waistlines. The misconception with veganism is that dishes prepared under this style are bland and lackluster — we're here to tell you that is totally wrong. Case in point: this crispy Brussels sprouts with toasted almonds recipe.
