This Apple Sage Vegan Sausage and Roasted Brussels Sprout Stir-Fry recipe is all about giving leftovers a new lease on life. The crispy bits on roasted veggies disappear once they’ve hung out in the fridge so here’s an idea for leftover veggies needing a makeover.
I used some of my leftover Roasted Cranberries, Brussels Sprouts and Pecans side dish with Maple Mustard Dressing in this quick and easy meal although most any veggie combo would work! I started by heating some oil in a cast iron pan, added some minced garlic and then crumbled in store-bought apple sage vegan sausages. Once they are cooked, added a splash of veggie stock to deglaze the pan, some cooked rice and the roasted veggies. Finished things up with a drizzle of maple syrup and tamari, and stirred often until heated through. Sweet, salty, and nourishing this meal has all the comforts a meal can offer on a night you need food to be quick and easy!
