Here is my recipe for pan-fried Brussels sprouts with bacon and honey, which make the perfect side dish for dinner. This recipe is really simple and easy. You first fry diced bacon in a pan, then take it out and fry the Brussels sprouts in the bacon fat with honey. The bacon goes back in the pan with the sprouts, everything is tossed together and served.
Brussels sprouts have a bit of a bad reputation, but that is probably mostly because of the overcooked version. When you cook Brussels sprouts properly, they taste wonderful. You can do so many things with them, as they can be boiled, fried, deep-fried, roasted and baked. Also try my roasted Brussels sprouts with miso butter. Enjoy!
Can you eat raw Brussels sprouts?
Yes, you can eat Brussels sprouts raw, but not everyone likes them that way. I think Brussels sprouts are best when they are cooked in some way, like in this recipe where I make Brussels sprouts with bacon. Here the sprouts are fried in a pan with fat.
What are Brussels sprouts good for?
Brussels sprouts contain vitamin C, vitamin K and lots of B vitamins. For many people they are a superfood. They get a little less healthy when, like me in this recipe, you toss them in honey and add bacon. But either way, they still contain the same vitamins, bacon or not.
Brussels sprouts with bacon and honey
Ingredients
Instructions
Fry the bacon in a frying pan until crispy. Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with kitchen paper to soak up the fat. Leave some of the bacon fat in the pan.
Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts, cut them in half, remove the outer leaves and rinse them thoroughly. Dry the sprouts well and place them cut side down in the pan with the bacon fat.
Fry them over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Drizzle the honey over them. Put a lid on and fry for 5 minutes. They should have a golden, crispy crust on the cut side. Remove the lid, add the bacon and toss well. Serve straight away. Enjoy!
