Best Caramelized Brussels Sprouts With Bacon Recipes

CARAMELIZED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH CRANBERRIES AND BACON

Steps:

• In a large pot, over high heat, bring the water to a boil. Generously salt the water and add the Brussels sprouts. Cook the sprouts until medium tenderness has been reached, about 8 to 10 minutes.
• In the meantime, in a large saucepan over medium heat fry the bacon until crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove bacon from the pan to a plate lined with a paper towel. Crumble the bacon and set aside.
• Leave the bacon fat in the pan and add the red onions and 3 tablespoons of the butter. Saute until the onions are translucent, about 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the red wine vinegar and brown sugar and cook until the liquid is slightly reduced, about 5 minutes.
• Drain the Brussels sprouts from water and add to pan with the onions. Stir to coat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Stir in the reserved bacon and cranberries. Season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste, and transfer to a serving bowl to serve.

CARAMELIZED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BACON

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375° 2. Wash Brussels Sprouts. Cut the stem off, and then, cut into halves. Place your sprouts into a large bowl. 3. In a small bowl, soften your stick of butter in the microwave for 15 seconds. Add sugar and salt. Whisk ingredients together. 4. Add your whisked butter, sugar, and salt to your Brussels. Mix them around for two to three minutes to make sure the Brussels are evenly coated. This will aid the caramelization process. 5. *Optional, cover the baking pan with foil for an easier cleanup. Lay a roasting rack over the foil.* If you do not have a roasting rack, make sure you flip your sprouts every 10 minutes. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the outer leaves of the Brussels start to turn a golden brown. 6. While your sprouts are cooking, cook your bacon in a saute pan on medium-high heat. Once they are cooked through, remove bacon and place onto a paper towel to drain grease. 7. Once the bacon has cooled and harden, chop bacon into 1/4" pieces. 8. When Brussels are browned, removed from the oven and transfer to a baking dish. Add the butter/sugar/salt mix that has drained under the roasting rack back to the Brussels. Add in your chopped bacon. Put back into the oven for 10 minutes to soften your Brussels even more. 10. Enjoy the deliciousness.
