Maple Bacon Brussels Sprouts
Makes 4 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts
- 2 slices nitrite-free bacon, sliced into 1/4-inch strips
- 1 small onion, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- Pinch freshly ground black pepper
Directions
- Trim the stem ends of the Brussels sprouts using a sharp knife. Peel off the loose leaves around the stems and slice each sprout in half lengthwise.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook until soft, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- While the sprouts are cooking, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and onion and cook, stirring frequently, until the bacon is crisp and the onions are soft, about 8 minutes. Add the cooked Brussels sprouts, maple syrup, salt, and pepper and toss until coated.
