1
Prepare the Brussels Sprouts
Rinse the Brussels sprouts under cold water and trim the ends. Cut them in half lengthwise to ensure even cooking.
2
Cook the Pancetta
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the pancetta. Cook until crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.
3
Sauté the Brussels Sprouts
In the same skillet with the pancetta fat, add the halved Brussels sprouts, cut side down. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy.
4
Combine and Glaze
Once the Brussels sprouts are crispy, stir in the cooked pancetta. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and toss to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
5
Serve
Transfer the crispy Brussels sprouts and pancetta to a serving platter. Drizzle with more balsamic glaze if desired and serve warm.
