This dish showcases the unique combination of crispy Brussels sprouts and a savory, warm bacon dressing that elevates the simple ingredients into a mouthwatering side dish.
Ingredients
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 5 strips of bacon, diced
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon erythritol or any keto-friendly sweetener
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Optional: chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until they are well coated.
- Spread the Brussels sprouts evenly on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are crispy and golden brown, tossing halfway through cooking.
- While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, prepare the hot bacon dressing. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the diced bacon until crisp. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- In the same skillet, add the apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and erythritol to the leftover bacon grease. Stir to combine and let simmer for a couple of minutes until slightly thickened.
- Once the Brussels sprouts are finished roasting, remove them from the oven and place them in a large bowl. Pour the hot bacon dressing over the Brussels sprouts and toss to combine. Finally, add the crispy bacon back into the bowl and mix everything together.
- Serve warm, garnished with chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy your delicious Brussels sprouts with hot bacon dressing!
