Imagine savory slices of andouille sausage, each piece meticulously browned to achieve a delightful crispness on the outside, while remaining juicy and succulent within. The rich, smoky, and subtly spicy character of the sausage forms the heart of this dish, promising a truly flavorful experience with every bite.

Paired alongside this delectable sausage are tender-crisp Brussels sprouts, gently cooked to bring out their natural sweetness and mild, nutty undertones. Their vibrant green color adds a touch of freshness to the plate, visually complementing the deep hues of the sausage. Roasted asparagus spears complete the vegetable medley, offering a delicate earthy flavor and a satisfyingly firm yet yielding texture.

The combination of these carefully selected ingredients creates a harmonious balance of tastes and sensations. The robust flavor of the andouille sausage is beautifully tempered by the subtle sweetness of the Brussels sprouts and the mild earthiness of the asparagus.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat the oven to 400 F. Wash the sprouts well, then slice the Brussels sprouts in half.
    2.
    Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and swirl to coat the pan. Add the Brussels sprouts cut-side down, cooking in batches if necessary. Cook for 1-2 minutes, then reduce heat to medium-low. Allow a sear to develop without disturbing the sprouts.
    3.
    Once a sear develops on the sprouts, toss to redistribute and cook to desired doneness. Sprinkle with tsp sea salt. Undercook slightly, as the meal will be reheated.
    4.
    Wash and trim the asparagus. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, drizzle with avocado oil, and season with tsp sea salt. Roast for 5-6 minutes, or until halfway cooked. Set aside.
    5.
    Slice the sausage on a bias and cook in a nonstick skillet until browned on both sides. Monitor the heat, cooking on the highest heat possible without burning.
    6.
    Divide all components equally among 4 meal prep containers. Store in the refrigerator for up to five days.
