Sauteed Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Onions image

This is a simple yet delicious recipe that takes little time to put together. It's a tasty way to incorporate a healthy, and often snubbed, vegetable into one's diet. I've been cooking Brussels sprouts this way for years. I'm not sure where I got the recipe. Using fresh Brussels sprouts is preferred naturally, but if not readily available, frozen Brussels sprouts may be used instead. If using frozen Brussels sprouts, you may have to drain any excess liquid that is rendered while cooking the sprouts.

Tips for Making Brussels Sprouts with Bacon Dressing

  • Choose the Right Brussels Sprouts: Select firm, compact sprouts with tightly closed leaves. Avoid any that are wilted, yellowed, or have brown spots.
  • Trim and Prepare the Sprouts: Trim the ends of the sprouts and remove any discolored or damaged leaves. Cut the sprouts in half or quarters, depending on their size.
  • Roast the Brussels Sprouts: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them in an even layer on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned.
  • Make the Bacon Dressing: While the sprouts are roasting, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan and crumble it. Whisk together the vinegar, mustard, maple syrup, and olive oil in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the crumbled bacon.

Conclusion
