- In a large cast iron skillet over medium heat cook bacon pieces for 8-10 minutes.

- Add garlic to reserved bacon grease and saute for 1 minute over medium-low heat.
- Next, place Brussel sprouts cut-side down into the pan, paying careful attention not to overlap the sprouts.
- Saute Brussel sprouts for 8-10 minutes, or until the flat sides become crispy.
- Sprinkle coconut sugar, salt, and pepper into skillet and toss to combine.
- Cook Brussel sprouts in preheated oven for 7-10 minutes, or until done to your liking.
- Serve sprouts with bacon pieces and enjoy! See this recipe in Meal Plan #6.
Notes
- Make sure you use an uncured, no sugar added bacon to make this recipe Paleo compliant.
- If low-carb or keto: substitute stevia powder for the coconut sugar to bring the carb count down to 10 grams carbohydrates / 4 grams fiber per serving.
- If Weight Watchers: 6 points/serving with coconut sugar or 5 points/serving with stevia powder.
