Ingredients in Maple Bacon Brussels Sprouts:

• brussels sprouts
• thick cut bacon (Applewood smoked bacon used)
• apple cider vinegar
• Dijon mustard
• maple syrup
• salt and pepper

How to make Maple Bacon Brussels Sprouts:

Cut the bacon into 1/2″ squares and cook in a large skillet until crispy. Remove all the bacon and most of the drippings, leaving about 1 tablespoon behind in the skillet.

Cut the blunt end off each of the brussels sprouts then slice in half lengthwise. Peel off a layer or two, like you would with cabbage.

Transfer the brussels sprouts to the skillet cut side down then season with salt and pepper to taste and cook over medium heat 4-5 minutes per side or until they’re caramelized and fork-tender.

Whisk the maple syrup, Dijon mustard and apple cider vinegar together in a small bowl then pour evenly over the top of the brussels sprouts.

Add the bacon then simmer over low heat 2-3 minutes. Serve right away.
