Sauteed Bacon Brussels Sprouts
Sauteed Bacon Brussels Sprouts
I chose this recipe to be my first post because I love anything that is sautéed. I also love bacon! Who doesn’t love bacon, I mean, c’mon? Brussels sprouts is one of my most favorite veggies! It can be a challenge to cook this amazing produce because it could either come out too soggy or too hard. It had to be perfectly cooked Brussels sprouts. Roasting it in a pan creates a sweet taste to the outer leaves, and slivered almonds add that crunchy texture to the dish.
Ingredients:
Brussels Sprouts
1 pound and a quarter Brussels sprouts, pre-boiled and drained
Bacon
2-3 slices of hardwood-smoked bacon, sliced evenly into small pieces
Garlic
1 1/2 big garlic cloves, minced
Onions
1/2 white onion, sliced into small cuts
Almonds
2 tablespoons slivered almonds
Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Kosher Salt, and Ground Black Pepper
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, Kosher salt, and ground black pepper
Italian Parsley
1/2 cup freshly chopped Italian parsley
Pre-Boiled Brussels Sprouts
To tenderize Brussels sprouts: Boil water in a pot, then add the Brussels sprouts, and cook for 5-6 minutes. Drain and set aside.
EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil) in a Skillet over Medium Heat
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Saute Garlic
Saute the minced garlic first.
Add Onions & Bacon
Cook the Onions & Bacon Bits
When it’s golden brown, add the white onions and bacon bits.
Add the Pre-Boiled, Drained Brussels Sprouts
Once the bacon bits are close to being golden brown, add the pre-boiled, drained Brussels sprouts.
Kosher Salt and Ground Black Pepper to taste
Cook for 6-7 minutes then add salt and pepper to taste.
Cook for a few minutes or less, depending on the quantity and size of your Brussels Sprouts
Cook for 4-5 minutes. make sure you do not overcook your Brussels sprouts so please keep a watch on it. Use a toothpick and grab a bite on it to test its hardness.

Having been one of only three people who tasted this dish, I can say that it was well balanced with the bacon adding saltiness and the slivered almonds providing a contrast in texture. I recommend it!

This looks great! I love brussel sprouts and so do my kiddos!
Can I suggest a change in your text color though? It’s a bit hard to read, the pink or green is easier to see and read than the brown.

Phoenix, congratulations on starting your blog! Man, you and DB are going to make me very very hungry with all the amazing food that you guys post. I hated brussel sprouts as a kid but that’s because I only ever ate them over-steamed and soggy. Roasted brussel sprouts are the best! And bacon makes everything better.

Thank you for your awesome comment! I notice that some people are not into Brussels sprouts and my plan is to change their minds. I do believe that bacon makes it better, and so is sautéing it in minced garlic. I have a lot of kitchen hikes to do. Right now, I’m planning my next dishes to blog. Like!!!
