I absolutely love brussel sprouts (after being terrified to even try one my whole life). I think that they are such magnificent little things and when you combine them with crispy bacon, they are delicious. What doesn't go well with bacon?!
This is a particularly simple recipe which takes a few minutes to prepare.
Ingredients for 4 servings as a side veg:
300g brussel sprouts
6 rashers of streaky bacon
1/2 an onion
2 T olive oil (approx.)
1 tablespoon maple syrup
salt for seasoning
Chop the onion into small squares along with the bacon. Place them in an oven proof dish.
Rinse the brussel sprouts and add them to the dish. Drizzle olive oil, maple syrup and add a little bit of salt to bring out the flavours.
Bake in the oven at 200'C for about 45 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the brussel sprouts have started to brown.
Easy peasy!
