Need the perfect Thanksgiving side? Here’s two ways to make some exceptional brussels sprouts!
Are you like me and thought brussels sprouts were the worst vegetable that ever was put on your plate? Well times have changed and I’m personally glad that these adorable little veggies made an epic comeback in the last few years. I couldn’t decide how I wanted to make them so I just decided why not try two ways? Well, they were both winners! Alright, let’s cook…
Brussels Sprouts | 2 Ways
Ingredients
Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Spicy Honey Drizzle
- 1 lb brussels sprouts halved
- 5-6 strips thick cut bacon medium chopped
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Kosher salt & fresh cracked black pepper to taste
Brussels Sprouts with Sweet Chili Sauce
- 1 lb brussels sprouts halved
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
Instructions
Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Spicy Honey Drizzle
-
Heat oil in a cast iron pan or sauté pan on medium heat. Add brussels sprouts (Tip: don't overcrowd the pan, cook in batches if you need to) and cook for about 3 minutes or until browned.
-
Add in bacon, turn the brussels sprouts and brown on the other side, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
-
In the meantime, add honey, chili powder and cayenne pepper to a small sauce pan until honey melts, about 1 minute (if it starts to harden again before your brussels sprouts are done or you're not ready to serve just reheat it for another minute).
-
Remove brussels sprouts from the pan and drizzle with the spicy honey.
Brussels Sprouts with Sweet Chili Sauce
-
Heat oil in a cast iron pan or sauté pan on medium heat. Add brussels sprouts (Tip: don't overcrowd the pan, cook in batches if you need to) and cook for about 3 minutes or until browned.
-
Turn the brussels sprouts and cook for about 2 minutes. Add sweet chili sauce and cook for 1 minute.
-
You're done! That was easy.
EN -JOY!
