Ingredients:
1lb of fresh brussel sprouts quartered (cut the root off too)
1lb of carrots cut into chunks then halved
1 medium onion chopped
8-10 slices of bacon diced
2 green chilies sliced
2-3 cloves of garlic minced
1/4 tsp of dried thyme

red chili flakes to taste
1/2 cup of chicken broth (or water/bullion equivalent)
pepper and seasoning salt to taste
Directions:
In a large pan, render out your bacon until crispy. Use a slotted spoon and remove bacon onto a plate to drain. Reserve 1 Tbs of the bacon fat to cook your vegetables and discard the rest.
Add your onions and saute for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
Next add your garlic and seasoning. Saute for another minute.
Now add your brussel sprouts, carrots and chicken broth. Use the chicken broth to scrape up all the bits from the bottom of the pan... they are very tasty. Saute for 4-5 minutes.
Add half the bacon back into the pan and toss with the vegetables. Taste for seasoning here. Then put everything into a oven safe dish and bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until the carrots are at your desired tenderness. I like my carrots to still have a little bite so they are not soggy. Then top with the remaining bacon bits and serve. Enjoy.

You are so right! They are underrated. I remember in the old days Brussels sprouts were bitter!! But nowadays they are actually slightly sweet. Did you notice that as well?
ReplyDeleteI like what you did with them in this dish! Bacon makes everything taste good =)
Have you ever tried mash potatoes with a spoon of fig/union chutney and some Brussel sprouts? You totally should. It’s soooo good!
Ramona, I think brussel sprouts are underrated too! I think the people who say they don't like them probably didn't taste them prepared well. To me, they are like mini cabbages, which I love, so I'd be happy to eat them with butter. But adding bacon and carrots and spices....who can resist this? Not me! Beautiful dish and I'll be trying it soon! Happy Sunday!
ReplyDeleteYou had me at bacon. This is a wonderful dish to have this time of year. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYep had me at bacon too!!
DeleteLovely dish and I couldn't agree with you more, brussel sprouts are unfairly unpopular. Its just all down to how you prepare them.
ReplyDeleteThose sprouts look really good! What a great idea to pair them with carrots. Have to try it next time I cook them!
ReplyDeleteI finally found brussle sprouts for Thanksgiving and I was so happy! Yours look great! I've heard that anyone who doesn't like brussles sprouts just hasn't had them prepaired the right way. How can you go wrong with bacon though?!?! Great side dish!
ReplyDeleteI make roasted sprouts all the time, but not mixed with the kind of goodies you've added here. I love the color and flavors you've put into this--sending some buzz!
ReplyDeleteOh dear..what an awesome recipe! Never tried it like that, and I am so keeping this recipe for later! Thanks for sharing and have a awesome week ahead!
ReplyDeleteThis recipe is basically heaven in a bowl. I *adore* Brussels sprouts. My mouth is actually watering reading this!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a great side dish to any meal! I love the combination of vegetables and of course bacon :) Lovely recipe!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of brussel sprouts! ;) Sounds delicious, I have to say, and like a nice not too heavy baked dish :)

ReplyDeleteLove this side dish! You came up with a great way to kick up regular ol' brussel sprouts!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen anything like this! I fell in love with brussel sprouts too and am always looking for new ways to make them. Cant wait to try this!!
ReplyDeleteI love brussel sprouts and with bacon or pancetta they are even more amazing. Lovely! thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteThis has all of my favorite ingredients. YUM!!!
ReplyDeleteI may have to make this. I have never had brussel sprouts and liked them. But in all fairness my moms idea of vegetables were canned. I am rediscovering all veggies and I am bookmarking this. I mean, bacon? I bet I will love it! I mentioned you again in my blog today. You are a staple in my house =)
ReplyDeleteYou jazzed up the sprouts nicely and you can't go wrong with bacon. The carrots added the right amount of crunch and a sweetness. Good one!
ReplyDeleteWhat a good way to serve sprouts - I've done the bacon thing before but not with carrots. I think that would go down well! Thank you :)
