1
Clean and Trim the Brussels Sprouts
Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any outer leaves that are yellow or damaged. Cut them in half lengthwise.
2
Prepare the Shallots
Peel the shallots and slice them thinly.
3
Dice the Pancetta
Dice the pancetta into small pieces.

4
Sauté the Pancetta
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced pancetta and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove pancetta and set aside, leaving the drippings in the skillet.
5
Sauté the Shallots
In the same skillet with the pancetta drippings, add the sliced shallots and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they are translucent.
6
Add Brussels Sprouts
Add the halved Brussels sprouts to the skillet, stirring to combine with the shallots. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the Brussels sprouts are tender and slightly caramelized.
7
Combine Ingredients
Once the Brussels sprouts are cooked, return the crispy pancetta to the skillet. Drizzle the hot honey over the mixture and stir to combine thoroughly. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
8
Serve
Remove from heat and transfer the Sweet & Spicy Brussels Sprouts to a serving dish. Enjoy warm.
