Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Sausage

Even if you're not on a Paleo diet, you will love this delicious rendition of roasted Brussels sprouts with sausage, pecans and mixed fresh herbs.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved lengthwise if large
• 3/4 pound bulk pork or turkey sausage (Italian, sage, country or breakfast)
• 1/2 cup diced onion
• 3/4 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt
• 1/2 cup pecan halves, toasted and chopped
• 2 tablespoons chopped mixed fresh herbs (any combination of parsley, sage, chives and oregano)
  

Instructions

1. Heat the oven to 400 degrees F.
2. On a large rimmed baking sheet, combine Brussels sprouts, sausage, onion and salt; mix well, breaking up clumps of sausage. Roast, stirring every 10 minutes, until sausage is browned and cooked through and sprouts are tender and crisped on the outside, about 40 minutes.
3. Transfer to a bowl and top with pecans and herbs.
