Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Brussels Sprouts

    Trim the stem ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow or damaged leaves. Cut them in half from top to bottom.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Bacon

    Cut the bacon slices into small pieces (about 1 inch each).

  3. 3

    Mince the Garlic

    Peel and mince the garlic cloves.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Cook the Bacon

    In a large skillet, heat the skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon pieces and cook until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.

  2. 5

    Sauté the Brussels Sprouts

    In the same skillet with the bacon drippings, add the Brussels sprouts. Stir in the olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the Brussels sprouts are golden brown and tender.

  3. 6

    Add Garlic and Balsamic Vinegar

    Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Then drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the Brussels sprouts and stir to combine.

  4. 7

    Combine and Serve

    Return the crispy bacon to the skillet and mix everything together. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot.
