Brussel Sprouts with Bacon

Step 1

Gather all the ingredients. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 2 tsp salt.

Step 2

Trim the bottom of Brussel sprouts, leaving the core intact, and cut in half.

Step 3

When the water boils, add the Brussel sprouts and cook uncovered for 6 minutes, until crisp-tender. Drain in a colander and set aside.

Step 4

Heat a large frying pan on medium heat and cook bacon, stirring occasionally, until it gets crispy. Then remove the bacon to a plate, leaving the bacon oil in the pan.

Step 5

Heat the pan on medium-high heat. Add Brussel sprouts and thyme in the same pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until they are golden brown.

Step 6

Stir in the apple cider vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Put the bacon back in the pan to toss it all together and serve warm.

Step 7

You can keep the leftovers in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
