What can I create using Brussels sprouts and green beans?

I recently picked up a bag of Brussels sprouts and green beans from the local food pantry, along with some mini bell peppers. I’m looking for a meal prep idea that I can pack for work, but I’d prefer to mix things up so I don’t get bored eating the same dish all week. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    You can create a few versatile dishes that incorporate Brussels sprouts, green beans, and mini bell peppers, allowing you to enjoy different flavors throughout the week. Here are some ideas:

    1. Roasted Veggie Bowl:
    2. Toss Brussels sprouts, green beans, and sliced mini bell peppers with olive oil, salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs (like garlic powder, thyme, or rosemary).
    3. Roast them in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes until they are caramelized.

    4. Serve over quinoa or brown rice with a protein of your choice (like chicken, chickpeas, or tofu). You can add a drizzle of balsamic glaze or tahini dressing for extra flavor.

    5. Stir-Fry:

    6. Sauté the Brussels sprouts and green beans in a bit of oil over high heat with garlic and ginger.
    7. Add the mini bell peppers in toward the end so they stay slightly crunchy.

    8. Serve over cooked rice or noodles, and top with a soy sauce or teriyaki sauce. You can also mix in some protein like shrimp or tofu.

    9. Veggie Wraps:

    10. Blanch the Brussels sprouts and green beans to soften them slightly, then chop them.
    11. Mix with diced mini bell peppers and a dressing of your choice (like hummus or yogurt-based sauce).

    12. Fill whole-wheat or spinach tortillas with this mix and roll them up. You can also add some cheese or turkey slices for added flavor.

    13. Salad:

    14. Lightly steam the Brussels sprouts and green beans and cool them down.
    15. Toss with chopped mini bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and a handful of greens (like spinach or arugula).

    16. Drizzle with a vinaigrette or a simple lemon-olive oil dressing. This can be a refreshing meal to pack.

    17. Soup:

    18. Make a vegetable soup by sautéing onions and garlic, then adding the Brussels sprouts, green beans, and mini bell peppers.
    19. Pour in vegetable broth and let it simmer until the vegetables are tender. You can add beans or lentils for protein. Pack it in portions to heat up at work.

    By preparing these different dishes, you can vary your meals throughout the week and keep things interesting! Enjoy your cooking!
