How to make Roasted Pear, Walnut, and Brussels Sprout Tacos ?
Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, nutritional yeast, flour, black pepper, cayenne, cumin, and any pear juice left from cutting up the pears. Add the Brussels sprouts, walnuts, and pear slices and gently toss with a large spoon until lightly coated, without breaking up the pears.
Pour the mixture into a shallow baking dish and use a spatula to spread it out into a thick, even layer.
Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, flip with a spatula, and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are tender.
While the filling is baking, warm the tortillas.
Serve the tacos warm, with a few pinches of fresh cilantro and a drizzle of hot sauce over the top.
WALNUTS
We all know walnuts are good for us. In fact, walnuts are one of the healthiest nuts you can add to your vegan diet—they’re a great source of omega-3 fatty acids, which can improve your cholesterol. By adding a few walnuts to your salads, breads, cookies, and pastas, you can get all the omega-3s you need without having to eat meat. We recommend you try Betty’s Wartime Walnut Burger, the Kale Caesar Salad, the Cookie Pizza, or the Carrot Cake Cookies.
