Ingredients

  • 32 oz brussels sprouts
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 6 strips of bacon - I like Jones Dairy Farm Cherrywood Smoked Bacon
  • 1 tbsp pure maple syrup

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
  • Trim the ends off the brussels sprouts and cut them in half
  • Place brussels sprouts in a mixing bowl and toss in avocado oil and salt
  • Arrange brussels sprouts on the baking sheet and bake for 35 minutes
  • While the brussels sprouts roast, cook 6 strips of bacon on the stovetop until crispy
  • Remove the bacon from the pan, chop the bacon and reserve the bacon fat
  • Strain the bacon fat to remove the solids
  • Heat the bacon fat over medium high heat
  • Once the oil is hot, carefully add the cooked brussels sprouts to the hot oil and toss constantly with tongs
  • Cook the brussels sprouts in the bacon fat for 3-4 minutes
  • Pour in the maple syrup and chopped bacon and toss to combine
  • Cook for another minute and remove from heat
