Caramelized Balsamic Glazed Brussels Sprouts
Ingredients
olive oil spray
4 slices thick-cut applewood bacon diced
1 cup diced yellow onion
1½ pounds brussels sprouts trimmed and halved
2 cloves garlic minced
kosher salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
1 tablespoon minced parsley for serving
Directions
- Spray a large 12-inch skillet with olive oil, add in the diced bacon and heat over medium heat. Stir and cook the bacon for 5 minutes.
- Add in the chopped onion, stir and cook until the bacon is crispy and the onions are soft and translucent and the edges are golden.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon and onions to a paper towel lined plate, leaving the bacon fat still in the skillet.
- In a single layer place the halved brussels sprouts, cut-side down in the skillet before adding the rest. Cover and allow the steam to help to cook the sprouts. Let the brussels sprouts cook for 5-8 minutes this way before stirring.
- Add the bacon and onions back into the skillet with the minced garlic. Stir and continue to cook the sprouts until fork tender but not too soft. Season with a little bit of kosher salt and a lot of black pepper, to taste.
- Drizzle in two tablespoons of the balsamic glaze, stir and serve hot with a sprinkle of minced parsley.
