Crispy Brussel Sprouts with Bacon

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 35 minutes
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 3 slices thick bacon diced
  • 1 lb brussel sprouts trimmed and halved
  • salt and pepper
  • balsamic glaze or balsamic vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Place an ovensafe sauté or cast iron pan over medium high heat. Add bacon pieces and fry until fat renders, they are starting to brown, and are cooked about 50% through.
  • If there is more than 1 Tbsp of bacon fat in the pan, carefully drain excess fat off (keeping bacon in the pan) until you have about 1 Tbsp of fat left in pan. Add raw Brussels to the pan and toss to coat. Stir fry the brussels with the bacon about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Transfer the pan to the oven and bake, stirring twice throughout, until bacon is crispy and Brussels are very brown and crispy, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven, and sprinkle with small amount of salt (be careful as bacon is salty already)and pepper, then drizzle with balsamic glaze or balsamic vinegar.
  • Enjoy!
