Print Recipe

A delicious side dish that combines savory flavors with a touch of sweetness using crispy bacon and tender Brussels sprouts drizzled with hot honey.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 ounces uncooked bacon, sliced into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • Fine sea salt
  • Freshly-ground black pepper

Notes
