Brussel Sprouts

I’m not big on brussel sprouts (or veggies in general) but after this promise that You will LOVE these crispy Brussels sprouts I thought it would be worth sharing. I’m going to give it a go sine they seem so easy.  The problem with most Brussels sprouts is that they taste bitter or bland. But a little bacon, a lot of garlic and a lemon finish make these sprout unforgettable! No bacon? Use ham!

Ingredients:

Brussels sprouts

2 slices bacon (or ham, prosciutto, smoked tempeh, etc)

Chopped garlic

Dash of lemon juice

Olive oil

1. Cut bottoms off of Brussel sprouts and remove any icky leaves the slice sprouts in half. Toss in olive oil to coat.
2. Cut bacon into small pieces and place in pan.
3. Add chopped garlic (as much as you like!) and place sprouts in bacon grease, cut-side down. Cook until cut-side is golden brown.
4. Toss ingredients around in pan for a few more minutes until everything’s nice and crispy.
5. Plate and sprinkle with a heathy does of lemon juice. Now just try to resist these tasty morsels!!
