Sautéed Brussels sprouts, nestled on a bed of ricotta cheese with a honey drizzle: what's not to love about this Brussels Sprouts Flatbread recipe? It makes an easy weeknight meal or a satisfying snack.
This non-traditional Brussels Sprouts recipe quickly became a family favorite. As much as we love Roasted Brussels Sprouts by themselves, using them as a pizza topping is a game changer. Just like our Balsamic Fig Flatbread, this flavor-packed vegetarian flatbread pizza recipe is so satisfying, you'll want to make it for dinner once a week.
