Honey Bacon Brussels Sprouts

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
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, halved lengthwise with ends trimmed off
  • Fine sea salt
  • Freshly-ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons hot honey

Instructions

  1. In a large sauté pan over medium heat, cook the bacon, stirring occasionally, until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and leave about 2 tablespoons of bacon grease in the pan.
  2. Add the olive oil to the pan and return to medium heat. Add the halved Brussels sprouts, seasoning generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Sauté for about 5 to 7 minutes, tossing occasionally until the sprouts are golden brown and tender.
  4. Remove from heat, mix in the crispy bacon, and drizzle with hot honey. Toss to combine all flavors.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or hot honey if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

For best results, serve the dish hot. Great with grilled chicken or fish.
