Ingredients
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts
- 4 slices of bacon, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any outer leaves that are wilted or damaged. Cut the sprouts in half.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the diced bacon. Cook until the bacon is crispy and the fat has rendered, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet with the bacon fat, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the halved Brussels sprouts to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat the sprouts evenly.
- Cook the Brussels sprouts, stirring occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- Once the Brussels sprouts are cooked, add the crispy bacon back to the skillet and toss everything together.
- Remove from heat and serve hot. Enjoy!
