Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 4 slices bacon, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • to taste Salt and pepper
Mustard Cream Sauce Ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Trim the Brussels sprouts by cutting off the stem ends and slicing them in half.
  2. In a skillet, sauté the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels.
Cooking
  1. In the same skillet, add the trimmed Brussels sprouts and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, then toss everything together.
  2. Spread them out in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they're golden brown and crispy.
Making the Mustard Cream
  1. While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, whisk together the Dijon mustard, heavy cream, and apple cider vinegar in a bowl.
Finishing Touches
  1. Once the Brussels sprouts are out of the oven, toss them with the crispy bacon and drizzle the mustard cream over the top. Give them a gentle stir to combine.
  2. Serve alongside your favorite main dishes.

Notes

Crispy Brussels sprouts are key—do not overcrowd the baking sheet. For substitutions, consider using olive oil and nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor if going meatless.
