Ingredients

  • 3 medium 280 g red apples, sliced
  • 5 cups 450 g frozen Brussels Sprouts, defrosted
  • 150 g bacon cubed
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup 35 g pumpkin seeds
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet on medium heat. Add Brussels sprouts and bacon. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the bacon is cooked and crisp.
  • Pour honey and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat.
  • In a large bowl, combine apple, pumpkin seeds, brussels sprouts, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust flavor.
  • Serve immediately as a side dish.

Notes

  1. Make it vegetarian by replacing the bacon with 200 g portobello mushrooms.
  2. Honey can be used in place of the maple syrup.
  3. Fresh Brussels Sprouts can be used instead of frozen, they just need to cook a bit longer.
  4. The apples can be cooked with the bacon and Brussels Sprouts if you prefer.
