Time 1h5m

Yield Serves 10 to 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed
5 ounces bacon (about 5 slices), cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons thinly sliced garlic (from 4 to 5 cloves)
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons packed dark-brown sugar
1/2 cup turkey stock or low-sodium chicken broth
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Using a paring knife, cut a slit straight through center of each sprout and down through stem end (but do not cut in half). Cook bacon in a large pan over medium-high heat until browned and most of fat is rendered, about 7 minutes. Drain on paper towels; discard all but 1 tablespoon fat from pan.
  • Return pan to medium-high heat. Add oil, then garlic and thyme; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add sprouts, butter, brown sugar, stock, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a boil, stirring to evenly coat sprouts. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer, stirring a few times, until sprouts are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 18 to 20 minutes. Uncover and continue cooking until liquid is reduced to a glaze that evenly coats sprouts, 7 to 9 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in bacon, and serve.

Cider-Glazed Brussels Sprouts and Bacon image

If there's one thing that makes a pan of roasted Brussels sprouts even better, it's bacon. Brussels sprouts pair well with its smoky flavor, and the fat rendered during roasting helps the leaves grow lacy and crisp.

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 45m

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 lb thick-cut bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 1/2 lbs Brussels sprouts, halved through the stem
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 cup unfiltered apple cider
1/8 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Steps:

  • Place bacon on rimmed baking sheet and spread into an even layer. Place the baking sheet in the oven and heat to 400°F.
  • Place the Brussels sprouts in a large bowl or pot (something large enough to easily toss them), drizzle with the olive oil, sprinkle with the salt and pepper, and toss to combine. Remove the hot baking sheets from the oven. Stir the bacon. Arrange Brussels sprouts cut-side down into an even layer.
  • Roast for 15 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and stir the Brussels sprouts and bacon. Return the baking sheets to the oven, rotating them from front to back. Roast until browned and tender, 12 to 15 minutes more, depending on the size of the Brussels sprouts. Meanwhile, make the glaze.
  • Heat the apple cider, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar in a small saucepan over high heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Cook until it's reduced by about half and thickened, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • When the Brussels sprouts are ready, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Turn the oven off. Combine the Brussels sprouts onto one baking sheet, drizzle the glaze over the sprouts, and stir to combine. Return the baking sheet to the turned-off oven and let sit until the Brussels sprouts absorb some of the glaze, about 2 minutes more.
