Caramelized Balsamic Glazed Brussels Sprouts

Step 1

Spray a large 12-inch deep sided skillet with olive oil. Add in the diced bacon and heat over medium heat. Stir and cook the bacon for 5 minutes.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon and onions to a paper towel lined plate, leaving the bacon fat still in the skillet.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Drizzle in the balsamic glaze, stir and serve hot with a sprinkle of minced parsley.
