I feel like one of the best vegetables to eat that is in season right now are brussel sprouts. They have such a bad rep and people really should give them a second chance! They are WONDERFUL! So I thought, how can I take the last few sprouts I have in my fridge and turn it into a side for dinner tonight..and this is what emerged! DELICIOUSNESS! These take a mere 15 minutes to make and can add to any meal or pretty much stand alone on it self. So, give these hated veggies another chance and you'll see, you've been missing out on something truly amazing!
Ingredients:
6-7 brussel sprouts, very thinly sliced
2 cloves of garlic, thinly sliced
palmful of walnuts, toasted
1 tbsp of vegetable oil
1 tsp of paprika
Salt & pepper to taste
Directions:
Scroll down to the bottom for quick directions.
Start with toasting your walnuts. I just threw them in a skillet on the stove for a few minutes. Set aside once they're done! You won't need these guys til' the very end...
Now let's get to work on the lovely sprouts..Slice them as thin as you possibly can...
Next, slice the garlic thinly..
Heat the vegetable oil in a non stick skillet on medium-high heat and saute the garlic until slightly browned. Make sure to watch closely so they don't get burnt...
Next, add the brussel sprouts and give it a good toss to make sure all of it is coated in the oil.. Add in the salt, pepper, and the paprika. Saute for about 10 minutes..
Right before you're about to take it off the stove, stir in your reserved toasted walnuts! Serve immediately!
Serve this up as a healthy side! I normally serve this on the side of salmon or some sort of protein! Tastes amazing and pretty much compliments anything you've got on your plate!
