- 1 pound brussels sprouts trimmed and cleaned
- 3 slices bacon cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 2 tbsp sugar-free maple syrup
- salt and pepper
Slice a bit off the stem end of the brussels sprouts and pull some of the outer leaves off. Quarter them.
Get the bacon started in a skillet large enough to hold all the brussels sprouts. Let the bacon cook for 2-3 minutes, enough to render some fat. Add the sprouts to the pan and season with salt and pepper.
Cook the sprouts, stirring frequently, for 3-4 minutes or until they have roasted brown tasty spots and the leaves are bright green. They should still be crunchy and not mushy. Add the maple syrup, stir to combine, and serve!
