Cooking Instructions

Prepare the Brussels Sprouts

Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow leaves. Cut them in half.

Sauté the Brussels Sprouts

In the same skillet, add olive oil and heat. Add the Brussels sprouts cut side down and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Stir occasionally.

Add Garlic

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

Combine Ingredients

Add the crispy bacon back to the skillet along with grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well to combine and allow the cheese to melt slightly.

Season and Serve

Sprinkle freshly cracked black pepper and salt to taste. Top with roasted and spiced sunflower seeds before serving.
