Asian Brussels Sprouts
As a child I never understood the purpose of brussels sprouts, they were always the last thing left on my plate after a turkey dinner. They were nothing more then a bland but healthy side dish which I had to suffer through eating twice a year on Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Brussels sprouts are low in calories (55 calories per cup) and packed full of nutritional benefits. A cup of brussels sprouts contains over 240% of your recommended daily intake of vitamin K and 130% of your intake of vitamin C.

These paleo Asian Brussels Sprouts are a fantastic side dish with chicken or fish or is also great served cold as a salad (I recommend doubling the recipe to ensure you have some for the next day, cold leftovers never tasted so good!). You can thinly slice the Brussel sprouts the day before to cut down on time and then quickly cook right before eating.
