Brussels sprouts are low in carbohydrates, which helps to manage blood sugar levels. They are also high in fiber, which slows the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream and prevents spikes in blood glucose. This recipe replaces traditional sugars with monk fruit sweetener, a natural, zero-calorie sweetener that does not raise blood sugar levels. The olive oil used in this recipe contains healthy fats, which can help improve insulin sensitivity.
