Isn’t it interesting that Brussels sprouts used to be the vegetable that everyone loved to hate? Grandmothers steamed them in the kitchen and the house smelled terrible, making you detest this nutrient-dense cruciferous vegetable. In recent years, though, Brussels sprouts have risen to popularity. It’s difficult to go to a restaurant and not find some version of Brussels sprouts on the menu. More often than not, they are usually an appetizer dish served with a creamy dressing of sorts.

One factor that deters people from making Brussels sprouts at home is that they never seem to be the same as they are in restaurants. How do you achieve the perfect combination of being perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside? Some people steam or boil them prior to roasting them, which cooks the Brussels and then all you have to do is broil them for optimum char. This is a multi-step process that can be a hassle, which brings us to the beautiful invention that is the air fryer.

Roasting Brussels sprouts in the air fryer is a much faster cook than roasting them in the oven. The same magic from the oven happens in the air fryer as well, in a fraction of the time! Because balsamic vinegar and Brussels sprouts are a match made in heaven, we’ve done our best to create an appetizer or side to remember. They are crispy and have a classic sweet tang that your taste buds will love. If you enjoy this vegan recipe, let us know in the comment section!

Are you holding onto something steady? Brace yourself because this salad is about to blow away your taste buds. Picture a colorful bowl filled with juicy, tangy nectarines, crisp spinach, crunchy walnuts, and vegan, dairy-free feta. That’s right, folks, we busted out the vegan cheese for this recipe! Those assertive ingredients all come together with an aromatic, slightly sweet basil balsamic dressing. Trust us when we tell you that you’ll want to save this recipe for the future.

Nectarines are a great summer fruit, offering an assortment of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They happen to be rich in vitamin C, which plays an integral role in immune function, and they have vitamin A, which optimizes your complexion and eyesight. Nectarines also contain dietary fiber, which aids digestive function and helps you avoid constipation. While these nutrients are great reasons to enjoy nectarines, their sweet tartness is unmatched. A perfect nectarine will have a slightly crunchy texture and a tart accent that follows refreshing sweetness.

So what’s up with vegan cheese? Well, we didn’t make it, but you can find vegan feta cheese at many grocery stores. The flavor of the “feta” with the basil balsamic dressing is almost too good to be true. The salty flavor of the “feta” complements the sweetness of the balsamic vinegar and maple syrup, in addition to the sweetness of the nectarines. And the walnuts offer the much needed crunch that everyone wants out of a salad. And to reiterate, the vegan feta cheese will blow your mind!

Lettuce may not be your go-to grilling item, but romaine hearts happen to hold up incredible well on the grill. The charred flavor complements the refreshing crunch on the inside. It’s surprising the first time you try it, but it becomes an addictive bite that you continue to crave. It may be the simplest and most creative way to enjoy lettuce, and it’s near impossible to mess up the recipe. Well, the only way to fail at this recipe is if you forget the romaine hearts on the grill and let them burn to a crisp. Let’s pray that doesn’t happen.

The easiest way to grill a romaine heart is to halve it lengthwise and place it cut-side down on the grill. After a few minutes, you’ll see perfect grill marks. Plus, the smoke from the grill sneaks into the little nooks and crannies of the lettuce, giving you a smoky, charred flavor in every bite. This recipe doesn’t just call for grilling the romaine hearts, though. It’s important to liberally brush the cut-side with the balsamic dressing, which you quickly whisk in a separate bowl.

The reason that you do not grill the romaine hearts too long is to avoid compromising the nutritional profile. Cooking a veggie, especially lettuce, for too long can kill the beneficial enzymes. Two minutes on the grill is all you need! This grilled romaine heart recipe is perfect for anyone who is not cleansing. Once you finish a cleanse, fire up the grill and try this out!

Figs are some of our favorite summer produce items, but they rarely get the attention they deserve. They have an inherent sweetness, so they can withstand strong flavors like the balsamic vinegar in this recipe. Additionally, figs contain a variety of nutrients, including phosphorus, potassium, manganese, and vitamins A, B1, and B2. People consume more dried figs than fresh figs, but we hope to change your view of fresh figs with this recipe. It is not cleanse-approved, but it is a great post-cleanse recipe. Get your hands on fresh figs while they are in season!

You can achieve amazing flavors by using a few simple ingredients. While mastering the balsamic glaze may take a few tries, it is a great cooking technique to have in your recipe catalog. You’ll probably have leftover glaze, which will keep in the fridge in an airtight container for about a week.
