- 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
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
