Crispy Bacon Brussel Sprouts
Who would have thought Brussel sprouts could be something I would not only eat once a week but crave!?! I have to admit I actually have 2 versions of Brussel sprouts that I make regularly (as in I make one every Friday night to go with our steak night!). This recipe is the one I have been trending towards more recently and has a little bit of heat, crispy texture and the delicious aroma of bacon.
Ingredients:
- 1 bag of whole Brussel sprouts
- 1/2 onion diced
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 3 slices of bacon
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
Directions:
- Heat a large cast iron skillet or sauté pan over median heat.
- Cook all 3 slices of bacon and remove from the pan but leave the fat behind.
- Slice Brussel sprouts into thin slices, dice onion and mince garlic.
4. Sprinkle the salt, pepper, garlic powder and cayenne pepper over the Brussel sprout mixture and toss well. Then let them cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. The goal is to have the onions, garlic and Brussel sprouts start to brown and get crispy.
5. Once crisped up, break up bacon to top the Brussels and sprinkle the parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
