Warm Brussels-Sprout Dip image

Nutritionally speaking, Brussels sprouts are famous as a vegetable overachiever. One cooked cup contains four grams of fiber and a day's worth of vitamin C-and they're a top source of folate. Here, we've worked them into a delicious winter dip that is as creamy as can be while still staying in the light and healthy range.

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for dish
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 pinches red-pepper flakes
1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and finely shredded
