Thanksgiving Side: Maple Apple Caramelized Brussels Sprouts

Remember that one time.

Just last week.

When I caramelized 2 beautiful pieces of salmon? Well- I may or may not have also caramelized the brussels sprouts that went along with that meal in the same exact glaze.

These are too good not to share and just in time for T-giving.

A few Friday’s back when I made this recipe, I actually had a full day of baking in preparation for a series I am doing in December with my mentee, Rachel, from the University of Minnesota. Rachel is in the college of Nutrition and asked me to be her mentor (heck to the yes!) because she is interested in food styling and recipe creation. Mentors have been a huge part of Fit Foodie Find’s success and I couldn’t imagine a day without having strong women (and men) to help me conquer business, blogging, entrepreneurship, etc. As part of the program, the mentees are suppose to shadow their mentor for an entire day…so I made sure we’d have an action filled one! 

Rachel and I made this meal during our baking extravaganza, and I do have to give her some credit for this combo. And for letting me use her hands in the photography 

We started off by chopping the brussels sprouts in half drizzling with EVOO, salt, and pepper and roasting them at about 400 for 20ish minutes.

Once they got their beautiful golden brown color, into a frying pan they went along with some of that delicious maple apple glaze we put on the fish.

Check out the size of these brussles. This one was like a size of a newborn’s head (almost)!

Happy Moooonday.
