Ruth’s Chris Brussel Sprouts Recipe

Ruth’s Chris Brussels sprouts are a delightful side dish that combines crispy bacon, tangy vinegar, and sweet maple syrup.
I’ve perfected this recipe at home, and the key is blanching the sprouts before sautéing for the perfect texture.
The addition of apple cider vinegar and maple syrup creates a delicious sweet and sour balance.
To achieve the best results, make sure your skillet is hot before adding the blanched sprouts – this ensures they get nicely caramelized.
