1
Prepare the Brussels Sprouts
Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow or damaged leaves. Cut each sprout in half lengthwise.
2
Slice the Onion
Peel and slice the yellow onion into thin strips.
3
Cut the Bacon
Slice the bacon into small lardons or strips.

4
Cook the Bacon
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the bacon lardons and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.
5
Caramelize the Onions
In the same skillet, add the sliced onion to the rendered bacon fat. Cook over medium-low heat until the onions are soft and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6
Add Brussels Sprouts
Once the onions are caramelized, add the halved Brussels sprouts to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for about 5 minutes.
7
Add Seasoning and Maple Syrup
Add the salt, black pepper, maple syrup, and fresh thyme to the Brussels sprouts. Stir well to combine and ensure the sprouts are evenly coated.
8
Finish Cooking
Cover the skillet and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, until the Brussels sprouts are tender and caramelized, stirring occasionally. Finally, stir in the crispy bacon pieces before serving.
