Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Brussels Sprouts

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

  2. 2

    Cook the Pancetta

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the pancetta and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove pancetta from the skillet and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Brussels Sprouts

    In the same skillet, add olive oil and the halved Brussels sprouts, cut side down. Season with salt and black pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they begin to caramelize.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked pancetta back to the skillet with the Brussels sprouts. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and honey, stirring to coat. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from heat and serve warm as a delicious side dish.
