Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Brussel Sprouts

    Trim the ends of the brussel sprouts and cut them in half. Toss them in olive oil, salt, and pepper.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and crumble into bite-sized pieces.

  3. 3

    Fry the Brussel Sprouts

    In the same skillet, add the brussel sprouts cut-side down and fry until crispy and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

  4. 4

    Make the Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together honey, chipotle sauce, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Slice the Jalapeno

    Thinly slice the jalapeno, removing seeds if desired for less heat.

  6. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large bowl, toss the crispy brussel sprouts with the candied bacon, sliced jalapeno, and honey chipotle vinaigrette. Mix until well combined.

  7. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Plate the brussel sprouts and sprinkle with cotija cheese and chopped cilantro. Drizzle with chipotle aioli and balsamic reduction before serving.
