Grab your avocado oil, minced garlic onions, and bacon. Chef Jernard adds flavor to maple and balsamic brussels sprouts with this technique.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 shallot, roughly chopped
  • 4 strips bacon (pork or turkey) cut into 1/4-1/2inch pieces
  • ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • Kosher salt
  • Black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. In a cast-iron skillet cook bacon in butter to render the fat. Add the garlic and shallots and saute.
  2. Toss the Brussels sprouts, olive oil, salt, and pepper into the pan with the bacon.
  3. Cook for 4-5 minutes stirring to combine and then add the maple syrup and balsamic vinegar. Sauté for another few minutes to coat evenly and reduce slightly.
  4. Remove from the cast iron pan and drizzle with the rest of the maple syrup, salt, and pepper to taste.
