Vegan Sweet and Sour Cauliflower and Brussels Sprouts with Raw Zucchini and Yellow Squash Noodles

I made Sweet and Sour Cauliflower Lettuce Wraps.They were delicious. I took the leftovers and made this Sweet and Sour Brussels Sprouts with Raw Zucchini and Squash Noodles. Two meals by just adding sautéed brussel sprouts. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

1 head of cauliflower, broken into florets

10 medium brussels sprouts, outer layer peeled and cut in half

Olive oil to cover sauté pan

1 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 tsp cumin

Sea salt and pepper to taste

Directions :

Add the oil to the pan. Cook on medium heat. Add veggies and spices. Stir. Cook until cauliflower is slightly tender, or longer if you like softer veggies. I love a crunch. Allow the brussels sprouts to get a nice golden color on them. After the sauce is done add the veggies to your sauce. Stir and cook on a low heat for about 2-3 minutes to incorporate the sauce with the veggies.

Ingredients for the Sweet and Sour sauce:

1 tablespoon tomato paste

juice of 1 lemon

1/2 cup water

1/3 cup apple cider vinegar

4 tablespoons organic cane sugar

1 tablespoon gluten free soy sauce)

1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1/4 cup water, fully dissolved

1/2 tablespoon Sriracha sauce

1 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1 cup diced pineapples

1/2 cup chopped red bell peppers

Directions:

In a large shallow sauce pan, heat the water, apple cider vinegar, ginger, sugar, soy sauce, Sriracha, and tomato paste over medium-low heat. Stir in the cornstarch mixture and stir until fully combined. Add the pineapple and bell pepper and continue to cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Add veggies and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Serve with Raw Zucchini and Squash Noodles or on Lettuce Wraps.

The Raw Veggies:

1 medium Zucchini

1 medium Yellow Squash

Cilantro for garnish

Directions:

Use a veggie spiral and make veggie noodles

If you do not have one you can julienne the veggies, thinly.

Add to a bowl. Top with Sweet and Sour Cauliflower and Brussels Sprouts mixture.

I garnished mines with cilantro and a little olive oil.

About Me

Hi, I am Lisa. I am learning every day how to love up on this beautiful gift of living, cherishing each moment as it comes. Especially because at 38 I was dying, and now I am 55 years old, I have gained a deeper appreciation for life’s simple pleasures. I’m married to my wonderful husband of 30 years, who not only supports me through thick and thin but has also selflessly served as my kidney donor, a true testament to his love and commitment. Together, we have raised two incredible kids, aged 38 and 25, and I delight in watching them thrive. Our family has expanded beautifully with two grandkids who fill our lives with joy, a lovely daughter-in-law who has seamlessly joined our family, and a grand fur baby who adds warmth to our home. Here you will find life, food, and how I set the table with love for myself, my friends, and my family, creating cherished memories around meals that go beyond nourishment. I hope it inspires you to love up on your life a bit more and encourage you to surround your table with love, laughter, and the people you hold dear.
