Equipment

  • large skillet

Ingredients

  • 1 pound brussels sprouts
  • 3 strips thick cut bacon
  • 1/2 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons good quality maple syrup
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Use kitchen scissors or a sharp knife and dice bacon into about 1/2" cubes.
  • Add bacon to the skillet and cook several minutes until crispy, turning as needed. Remove bacon and all but one tablespoon of bacon fat from the skillet.
  • Cut the blunt end off each of the brussels sprouts then slice in half lengthwise, peeling off a layer or two from them (similar to cabbage).
  • Transfer them to the skillet facedown, season with salt and pepper and cook over medium heat about 5-7 minutes per side or until they're fork tender.
  • Whisk the maple syrup, Dijon mustard and apple cider vinegar together.
  • Return the bacon to the skillet then pour the glaze over the top. Stir to coat then simmer over low heat 2-3 minutes. Serve right away.
