Equipment

  • Sauté pan
  • Chef knife

Ingredients

  • 3 cups brussel sprouts, quartered
  • 5 oz chickpeas, drained
  • ¼ cup walnuts
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • 1 ½ tbsp maple syrup

Instructions

  • Place a sauté pan over medium heat and add the olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Add the brussel sprouts and salt. Sauté for the next 5 minutes, stirring frequently (I like to cover it off and on a few times for a steaming effect, but it's up to you).
  • Add the chickpeas, walnuts, and maple syrup and stir the mixture. Sauté for one more minute.
  • Pair with 2-3 oz. of a protein of your choice.
