Once I tried Brussels sprouts, I got attached. Recently, after visiting a restaurant and ordering a side dish of seared Brussels sprouts, it made me want to run home and sear more of these bad boys. They truly are great, especially if you’ve never had them before. I encourage you to get out of your comfort zone of food and try foods you possibly hated as a kid, especially if you were a picky eater. You never know – tastes do change, and you might enjoy new dishes!
Brussels sprouts contain fiber, which is very important for your system. Fiber helps to lower cholesterol and control blood sugar levels. Also, high-fiber foods help you to feel full longer, and that way you eat less.
You need just four ingredients for this seared Brussels sprouts with bacon and cheese recipe! Isn’t it so easy? Naturally, Brussels sprouts are great for weight watchers and healthy eaters. Also, Brussels sprouts are filled with goodness like fiber, protein, and iron. Finally, bacon is filled with high-quality protein and zinc.
With no butter or olive oil, how do the Brussels sprouts cook?
Usually, searing Brussels sprouts means you use olive oil, butter, or ghee. Here, there’s one ingredient eliminated, and a secret one added: bacon fat! The bacon grease not only cooks up some crispy bacon but fresh Brussels sprouts, too. This easy side dish cuts down on ingredients and increases the deliciousness with every bite. I’d call it the perfect side dish!
All of these simple ingredients can be found at the grocery store. This is one of those side dishes that can give you perfect results every time with little effort.
