Bacon Brussel Sprouts
Ingredients:
1 lb. organic brussel sprouts, end trimmed, cut in half and/or quarters
4 slices bacon, nitrate free
Salt and pepper to taste
¼ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
2 tsp. Fresh lemon juice
Directions:
Rinse and trim the brussel sprouts. Slice the smallest amount you can off the stem of each sprout. Doing this will minimize the number of leaves that fall off the sprout. Try to use sprouts of a similar size if you can choose them. This will ensure that they cook more evenly. Cut the sprouts in half or quarters depending on how big a sprout is. Set the sprouts aside while we cook the bacon.
Place the bacon in a large cast iron pan. Using cast iron works best, in my opinion, in order to achieve that beautiful golden brown and caramelization that occurs. Cook the bacon on medium low heat, turning frequently until it is browned and crispy. Place the cooked bacon onto a paper towel covered plate to cool. Once cool chop bacon into bite size pieces.
In the same pan with the bacon grease, toss in the brussel sprouts and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and then cover and cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally . You may need to lower the heat depending on how hot it gets.
Test for doneness using a fork and cook for an additional 5 to 10 minutes or until the sprouts are golden brown and fork tender.
Serve the brussel sprouts into a serving dish and drizzle a couple of teaspoons of fresh lemon juice followed by the bacon and toss. Then finish it off with some grated fresh parmesan cheese.
Enjoy!

I was just Googling Brussel sprout recipes this morning, and didn’t find one that appealed to me as much as this. You’re a godsend Robin! This will definitely be on my Thanksgiving dinner table!
You must try my homemade EASY cranberry sauce that's not overly sweet: https://youtube.com/shorts/wbI6vGw0LbU?feature=share
Good to see you. Been a follower for a long time.
Yummy delicious 🤤😋👍🏽❤️ Happy thanksgiving 🍁🍽 🥧🦃
Robin, add some olive oil which absorbs the healthy fats and tastes really good. Dr william Li recommends that and I just tried it. Yumm.
Looks really good. Cheers, Robin! 👍👍✌️
Robin I just love your bacon and brussels sprout recipe! Looks great!
Nope. Why does everyone want me to like Brussels Sprouts? But I love your channel, Robin.
Yummy going to make this 😊
In addition to bacon I add chopped onion to my sprouts while they are cooking. I cook them low and slow until tender, for about an hour.
Hi Robin! I came across a video of yours that I commented on 7 months ago. It was the Healthy Gummy Bears. After watching it, I came across this video. I hope you’ve been well. I love these recipes! I definitely want to try this recipe as well. I had Brussels sprouts last week. I added them to rice and added cheese. It tasted very similar to Broccoli 🥦 Rice 🍚 and Cheese 🧀 casserole. They are great when you don’t have broccoli.
can't wait to try this, oh hey ROBIN from NC
My favorite is thin and crispy bacon
