Equipment
- Large Pan with Lid
- Measuring Cups
- Spatula
Ingredients
- 4 slices bacon chopped into 1-inch pieces
- 1 ½ pounds Brussels sprouts trimmed and cut in half
- 1 cup water divided
- ¼ cup maple syrup
Instructions
- Over medium high heat, in a large skillet add chopped bacon and cook for about 5 minutes.
- Add Brussels sprouts and ½ cup of water and immediately cover with a lid and cook for about 5 minutes untouched.
- Stir and repeat with the remaining ½ cup of water.
- Remove the lid and drizzle with maple syrup.
- Finally, if you like your Brussels sprouts seared, cook them to your personal preference.
- Optionally, sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
Notes
- Use pure maple syrup instead of pancake syrup for the richest, most delicious way to glaze.
- Let the sprouts cook undisturbed in a single layer for golden, crispy brussels sprouts.
- Give them space. Overcrowding traps steam and prevents browning.
- Try to grab ones that are similar in size for a more consistency texture.
