Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 slices thick-cut bacon
  • 1 lb brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp bacon fat or olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper
  • Pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 lemon wedge (optional)

Method
 

  1. Cook the 4 bacon slices in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels, leaving 2 tbsp fat in the pan.
  2. Add 1 lb halved brussels sprouts cut-side down and sear undisturbed for 4-5 minutes until deeply browned. Stir and cook another 2-3 minutes until tender.
  3. Stir in 3 minced garlic cloves and optional pepper flakes; cook 1 minute. Remove from heat, toss with 1/4 cup Parmesan, salt, and pepper.
  4. Crumble bacon on top, transfer to a serving dish, and squeeze lemon wedge over if using. Serve immediately.

Notes

Freshly grated Parmesan melts into a smooth coating, so skip the pre-shredded kind for the best texture.
