Sauteed Brussels Sprouts with Apple

Day 7 of the paleo challenge! I love cauliflower rice and have used it as a side dish multiple times in the past week. For Week 2, I think I’ll be eating a lot of this dish. I love brussels sprouts and find it incredibly versatile. I love it with pine nuts, with bacon, with cheese, and even a combination of all the above. When I’m in a rush, this is the recipe I go to for a quick and tasty vegetable side to my meals. The apples add a nice sweet balance to the brussels sprouts. Enjoy!

Ingredients
Makes 4 servings
16oz brussels sprouts
1 fuji apple (or any type of apple you want)
olive oil
salt & pepper

Directions
Cut off the ends of the  brussels sprouts and take off any wilted outer leaves. Halve the brussels sprouts (you can leave whole if you like).  Take your apple and chop into small pieces (I like mine roughly around the size you would find in a fruit cup).

Add some olive oil in a heated pan and add the brussels sprouts. Stir frequently for 5 minutes and add salt and pepper to taste.  Add the chopped apple and stir for an additional 5 minutes.

That’s it! Serve and enjoy! Best served immediately.
