12. Brussels Sprouts
These cute little guys look like mini cabbages and have tons of fiber, protein, and loads of other great cruciferous benefits. Instead of boiling or sautéing them, try adding salt, pepper, and olive oil, then slow-roasting them in a very hot oven until they’re brown.
13. Peas
Plain old peas are actually packed with nutrients and considered one of the world’s healthiest foods. Luckily they’re also one of the first veggie favorites of babies and toddlers, easy to pick up and swallow. Phytonutrients in peas provide you and your family with key antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. These can be great in pasta and rice dishes and for a cozy winter pea soup with naughty bacon bits.
