Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts
  • 4 slices bacon
  • 3 Medjool dates
  • 1/3 cup candied pecans
  • 1 tbsp bacon fat
  • Salt
  • black pepper
  • garlic powder
  • 1/3 cup feta

Method
 

  1. Cook bacon at 400°F for about 15-20 minutes, until crispy. Remove, chop, and leave about 1 tbsp of the bacon fat on the pan.
  1. Toss halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, bacon fat, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Lay them cut side down on a sheet pan.
  1. Roast at 400°F for 20–25 minutes until deeply golden and crispy.
  1. Add bacon, chopped dates, and feta in the last 3–5 minutes so they warm without burning.
  1. Finish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze.

Notes

  • Make sure to lay the Brussels sprouts cut side down for maximum crispiness.
  • Use Medjool dates for their chewy texture and sweetness.
  • Substitute goat cheese for feta if you prefer a creamier texture.
  • Candied pecans add a delightful crunch and sweetness to the dish.
  • Drizzle balsamic glaze sparingly to balance the flavors without overpowering them.
