Keto Brussels Sprouts with Bacon
Description
This recipe involves cooking bacon pieces until crisp in a cast iron skillet, then sautéing halved Brussels sprouts in the rendered fat to get them tender with a bit of caramelization. Garlic and spices including paprika, dried parsley, and red pepper flakes add depth and slight heat. The pan is covered briefly to help the sprouts cook through but retains some texture. Finally, the bacon is added back and the mixture cooks uncovered to crisp up a bit. Fresh shredded Parmesan cheese is sprinkled on top to add a salty, savory finish.
The dish is well balanced with smoky bacon and the earthy Brussels sprouts, accented by fragrant spices and melted cheese. It works well as a hearty side for dinners or as a warm vegetable component for ketogenic diets.
Ingredients
- 8 lices Bacon cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 pounds Brussels sprouts washed, bottoms trimmed and cut in half

Instructions
