The BEST Sauteéd Brussel Sprout Pasta Salad Bowl
Sauteéd brussels sprouts topped with chicken, parmesan cheese, bell peppers and onions and drizzled with balsamic glaze
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 4 cups brussels sprouts shaved or shredded
- 1.5 cups pasta cooked
- 8 oz cooked chicken breast shredded or chopped
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese shredded
- 1 cup bell pepper sliced
- 1/2 cup red onion sliced
- 1 tsp balsamic glaze more to taste
- 1/2 tbsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- First, prepare your brussels sprout base! You can either sauté them or use your air fryer. To sauté, heat 1 tbsp. of oil on medium heat and add brussels to the hot pan. Season with salt, garlic powder and pepper and cook until brussels are browned and slightly softened, about 5-6 minutes. To air fry, preheat air fryer to 375. Spray with oil (or toss in oil) and season with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Air fry for about 5-6 minutes, checking every 2 minutes for doneness to prevent burning.
- Next, assemble each bowl. Add: 1-2 cups cooked brussel sprouts, 3/4 cup cooked pasta, 4 oz. chicken breast, 1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup red bell pepper, and 2 tbsp. chopped red onion. (I prefer keeping the pepper and onion raw to add texture, but you can also cook right in with the brussels in step 1!).
- Drizzle with plenty of balsamic glaze and enjoy! Add more parmesan cheese if desired.
