Equipment
  • 1 Large skillet
  • 1 Slotted spoon
  • 1 Paper towel
  • 1 saucepan
  • 1 serving dish
Ingredients
  
  • 1 and 1/2 lbs Brussel sprouts cleaned and halved
  • 2 tsp honey or maple syrup
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp smoky paprika
  • 1/2 tsp chipotle chili powder or a spice blend like Calabrian Chili Rub for extra flavor
  • 4 slices of bacon chopped
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp balsamic glaze made from balsamic vinegar and sweetener like agave nectar
  • Melted butter or additional toppings as desired
  • Step-by-step Process
Instructions
 
  • This high temperature will help achieve a nice golden brown color on your Brussels sprouts.
  • Rinse them under cold water and trim off any tough stems; cut the sprouts in half or quarter them into smaller pieces.
  • Over medium heat, cook the bacon in a large skillet until it's crispy.
    Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon and set it aside on a paper towel to drain.
    Leave the bacon grease in the skillet for extra flavor.
  • Add the olive oil in the same skillet with the bacon grease and place the halved Brussels sprouts cut side down.
    Cook them over medium heat for 4-5 minutes until the cut side is golden brown.
    Flip them and cook for another 5-7 minutes until they are tender.
  • Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, smoky paprika and chipotle chili powder over the sprouts mix well to ensure an even coating of the spices.
  • Arrange the seasoned sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until they are tender and slightly crispy.
  • While the sprouts are baking, prepare the balsamic glaze by combining balsamic vinegar with honey or maple syrup.
    Heat it in a saucepan and reduce the mixture until it reaches a syrup-like consistency.
  • Remove the cooked Brussels sprouts from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish.
    Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the sprouts and sprinkle the cooked bacon on top for a heavenly balance of flavors.
