Do you like Brussels Sprouts? If the last one’s you tried were boiled and served up when you were a kid – give these crispy, bacon clad Brussels Sprouts a try!
Sometimes I get in a rut with vegetable sides to serve alongside meals. So from time to time, I leave the can ‘o green beans in the pantry and head for more exotic…like Brussels Sprouts.
I know.
I used to hate them too.
I’ve grown a little in my tastes over the years…plus if you fry up a little bacon you can just about make anything taste good!
For this recipe, I used frozen whole Brussels Sprouts. I figured they already did the blanching for me, so that’s one step I don’t have to do. Just let them thaw and pour them out onto several layers of paper towels and pat them lightly to absorb any remaining moisture.
