Bacon Brussels Sprouts
There’s nothing quite like the combination of crispy bacon and tender Brussels sprouts. This recipe is one of my go-to recipes because it’s simple, flavorful, and comes together quickly using just one pan.
Equipment
- 1 Wok or deep frying pan
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Brussels Sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 1 lb Sliced Bacon, chopped
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 4 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Heat a wok (or large skillet) over medium heat. Add the chopped bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until it’s crispy. Once the bacon is cooked remove it leaving the bacon fat in the pan.
- Add the Brussels sprouts to the wok. Stir to coat them in the bacon fat, then cover the wok with a lid to allow the Brussels sprouts to steam for about 5-7 minutes, until they start to soften.
- Remove the lid and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the Brussels sprouts have a nice golden-brown char. This should take another 5-8 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix the honey and balsamic vinegar. Drizzle the mixture over the Brussels, than add the bacon, and toss everything together until evenly coated. Taste, and season with salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve immediately as a delicious side dish for any meal. This dish pairs perfectly with roasted meats or as part of a holiday spread.
