For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of balsamic vinegar during the last minute of cooking. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan when sautéing the Brussels sprouts. Overcrowding will steam the sprouts instead of browning them. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese is always best for flavor and texture.

In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet, cook the bacon lardons over medium-high heat until crispy and golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on paper towels to drain, reserving the rendered bacon fat in the skillet.

Step
5 mins
Reduce the heat to medium and add the diced onion to the skillet with the bacon fat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
03
Step

Add the halved Brussels sprouts to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring frequently, until the Brussels sprouts are tender-crisp and lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes.

Return the crispy bacon to the skillet and stir to combine with the Brussels sprouts mixture. Cook for another minute to heat through.
