How to Make Carmelized Maple Brussel Sprouts And Mushrooms

  1. Wash and trim 1 pound of Brussel sprouts, then halve or quarter them depending on size.
  2. Clean and slice 8 ounces of cremini mushrooms.
  3. Mince 2 cloves of garlic.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté for 3-5 minutes, until softened.
  5. Add the minced garlic and a pinch of Himalayan pink salt. Continue to sauté for 1 minute more.
  6. Stir in 1/2 cup raw cashews and 3 tablespoons of maple syrup. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, until the cashews are slightly softened and the sauce begins to thicken.
  7. Remove the mushroom and cashew mixture from the skillet and set aside.
  8. In the same skillet, add 2 more tablespoons of maple syrup and increase the heat to medium-high.
  9. Add the Brussel sprouts and a generous pinch of Himalayan pink salt.
  10. Cook the Brussel sprouts for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and slightly caramelized. Avoid over-stirring to allow for proper caramelization.
  11. Add the cooked mushroom and cashew mixture back to the skillet and gently toss to combine.
  12. Serve immediately. For a more complete meal, serve over 1 cup cooked quinoa per serving.
