Servings: 8

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds brussel sprouts stems trimmed and cut in half
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 5 strips of bacon diced
  • 4 cloves of garlic finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Salt the water and add the brussel sprouts. Cook for 2 minutes, until they are bright green, and drain. Run under cool water. Pat the brussel sprouts dry and set aside.
  • In a large, heavy bottomed skillet. Cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon, leaving the bacon grease in the pan, and transfer to a paper-towel lined plate. Lower the heat to medium low, and add the brussel sprouts and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the red pepper flakes, sriracha, soy sauce, brown sugar and a dash of pepper. Stir together and cook for another 4 minutes to heat the sauce through.
  • Add the bacon back to the pan and stir. Season the brussel sprouts to taste. Serve immediately or keep warm in the oven until you are ready to serve. Enjoy!
