Ingredients

Scale
  • 2.5 to 3 cups of Brussel Sprouts
  • 2 tbsps. of olive oil
  • 1.5 cup of cooked breakfast sausage (place on a paper towel to remove extra grease)
  • 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup of chopped walnuts (I love nuts so the more the better)
  • 2 tbsp. of fresh cranberries (optional- if you use cranberries make sure you candy them well or they will be tart)
  • 2 tsps. of butter (or more)
  • 1 to 2 tbsp. of THM Gentle Sweet or Truvia or Pyure Stevia (if using erythitol or xylitol use 1/4 cup)

  3. Add to a greased cookie sheet and bake at 400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes.

  5. While the sprouts are cooking, cook the sausage.
  6. Once cooked, place on a couple paper towels to remove the extra grease.
  7. In a small skillet add the butter, chopped walnuts and sweetener (you would also add the cranberries).
